GKC Global

A little different topic from the usual kata based online workshop.

Why? Because how to teach and develop sparring has been a particular point of interest when teaching GKCollege classes to other instructors and dojo owners around the world.

Whether you are interested in your own personal sparring development, or if you are a teacher interested in improving teaching skills (or simply curious about other teaching methods) then this workshop is for you.
