Practical Karate Association

Smashing energy throughout the class. Solid pad work improvements, good refinement on the static and limited sparring (stand up, ground and wall), plus greater body control shown in kata.

The struggle to take one register photo with no movement is real!

Changing the scenario.

With half of Saturday's participants still studying at school, we created a mock 'changing room' for them with a diversionary focus of removing sports socks and vests that were worn over their armour and putting on socks, vests and jackets.

Then we added in an argument, an accusation, to be combined with end of day fatigue.

It created a small busy space dynamic more familiar to the group. We opted not to give an olfactory stimulus to the room this time... but that can easily be done!
