Instructor Seminar

Tonight's Instructor Seminar was a great continuity for Black Belt training.

The lesson this evening mostly consisted of basic training of the 1st and 2nd Dan Hand and Foot combinations as well as a review of all the basic forms. One of the challenges of maintaining a federation is the attempt to keep all of your masters, students, and instructors on the same page.

In addition to the open hand segment, Master Cherry also taught a refresher crash course on sword. I have the distinct feeling that sword training will become a staple of our instructor get togethers for some time, with other techniques and trainings playing more of the supporting role.

In a personal and exciting note, I had the blessed opportunity to firm my recent Wing Tsun interest with Kyo-Sa Travis who has had the opportunity to train with local PA master. It was fantastic to share me intruige with someone else who not only appreciated it, but was able to correct my mistakes before they began, as well as to further propell my interest in the study.

I have a strong feeling that these get togethers will be good not only for the federation as a whole, but for the individual instructors and black belts in them, as artists, practicioners, and men and women. On this matter, I speak from personal experience.
