Kata Seminar on Matsumura Bassai	21-09-2008
This seminar was the last of 3 fundraising events organised to help send a team of 7 students to this years Copa Murayama in Mexico. The seminar attracted a modest support but never the less was enjoyed by those who attended. Sensei Brian started by outlining the 3 Important Factors of kata practice - explaining their importance followed by exercises to help improve good kata performance.
Before teaching Matsumura Bassai sensei Brian explained a little of the background of the kata and about the master it was named after. The next hour focused on the kata itself followed by analysis of the techniques used with a partner - bunkai kumite.
On behalf of the team members going to Mexico this year - a big thank you to those who supported the event.
