Guro Dan Inosanto Seminar - Edinburgh

Hi all,

Over the weekend of the 6th & 7th Feb 2010 I travelled to Edinburgh to participate in a weekend martial arts seminar taught by Guro Dan Inosanto.

With the added bonus of being the training partner for the weekend of my instructor Guro David Onuma.

Guro Inosanto is absolutely amazing & at every seminar of his I attend just shows what an amazing opportunity we have to be able to experience his enthusiasm, skill, knowledge & ability.

On day one we covered entries from various arts into close range to be able to get close enough to work a take down, we also went through some Jab & cross counters from Jun Gung Fu - Jeet Kune Do & finished with some ground striking drills from the guard on the focus pads.

On day 2 we covered double stick, single stick & some knife work from the Filipino martial arts.

The seminar was absolutely fantastic & a big thank you to the following people Guro Rick Young for hosting the seminar, Guro David Onuma for letting little old me be his training partner, Guro Bob Breen & his lovely wife Judy for being so friendly.

So until next time..... TRAIN SAFE, TRAIN HARD & HAVE FUN!!!!


See ya.
