Just in case we don't talk about KU enough on here... Shawn just taught Adelaide's very first KU class!
It went extremely well with about a dozen students attending. Lets hope it continues to grow for Renshi Jason's (or even Hanshi Patrick McCarthy's) next visit.

Shawn started off with the regular formalities, then ran a KU style warm up, some stance differences for the mostly shotokan stylists, kihon (basics), tegumi drills, heishu waza (closed fist drills), and the beginning of shime waza (choke drill).

Shawn and I started at 6:30 and finished after 9, but it just flew by.

WELL DONE SHAWN!

Chris, you're a gun, you beat me to it!

While I was quite nervous to start with, I had an absolute ball! I was so impressed by all the students jumping into the new syllabus with both feet, and just loving it. I think most were truly excited at the opportunity of something new.

We went through the new bowing ceremony with everyone, which is rather formal. I then moved into the warmup, which I admit, I haven't memorised yet.

I tried to give everyone a little taste of what KU was all about, taking from various bits and pieces. It seemed to work well from what I can tell.

Thanks again to Chris for coming down and Andrew for his help getting this together.... and for going to pick up the pants I left at home

Great class and a great turnout. Wish I could have hung around aferwards for
a bit longer tho.

Hope all that came enjoyed it and will continue to come and tell their friends.

My face still hurts too, thanks Chris and Mitsi

Was a good class, and I am looking forward to seeing what KU will bring...

Awww, poor Zorba, beaten up by a girl and and a white belt...
Haha, just kidding. Sorry about the lip. Your turn next time.

hahaha, white belt. the saying about the belt not necesarily relating to ability goes both ways

its all good, was my fault, went for the transition and stuffed it up. i dont mind getting hit every now and then, adds to the realism.
