Over 70 members of the Traditional Karate-Do Federation of Great Britain spent the weekend in Peterborough, learning new skills and improving their knowledge in the open karate seminar conducted by Sensei Andrzej Olech, 6th Dan. The subject was “the body system” – connection between correct body posture and a breathing; principles of the system have been applied in kata and kumite.
At the end of the seminar most of the participants had an opportunity to test their skills in kata and kumite. For the TKFGB team it was the last test before incoming World Traditional Karate Championships Cracow ORLEN 2016.
