25.01.2022 Horse stance and chariots The foundation of great technique is great stance. A stable, strong and balanced stance coupled with lightning fast footwork and accurate foot placement is a must for all Karate-Ka. Well, it should be the goal at least. Because a creating a great stance is no easy feet, ahem, I mean feat. Above all, the three secrets of Karate hold here: practice, practice and practice.

24.01.2022 This year marks the 50th anniversary of Chidokan in Australia. In November 1969, Kyoshi Sensei John Clutterbuck opened the first Dojo in the North Sydney PCYC and it's still going strong to this day!

The week will end on a high with an open Dojo event on Sunday 1st December where will be joined by a number of different styles of martial arts who will present something non-Karate.

22.01.2022 The Kurrajong trip David Hennesey is a Karate-Ka from the early 2000's and was the last Shodan under Kyoshi Sensei Clutterbuck. David has moved around in the past 10 years or so which has made it challenging to train with him. But as with any true Karate-Ka, he's kept the fire burning and now trains with his children along with some other kids in his garage.

19.01.2022 Tai Sabaki The focus of this month was Tai-Sabaki so we devoted the majority of the time working on the art of body shifting plus a little Aikido. We spent a lot of time focusing on Yoko-Geri and Mae-Geri as these are a crucial part of two of the Tai-Sabaki Kihon. Strong, sharp, controlled kicks are essential not for the performance of the Kihon but to ensure an effective application.

06.01.2022 Kids night at the Dojo The Winter school holidays happened this month so we invited the kids along to join our classes. Bruce's kids, Luke and Amber came to training the same night Sam and Lucy (my two) were there. Luke has been training for many years so it was a walk in the park for him. The others weren't so familiar but gave it a good go. [ 226 more words. ] http://chidokai.com.au/2015/08/kids-night-at-the-dojo/
