We’ve just concluded 2 London seminars with Renshi Olaf Krey (IRKRS Instructor) held on Saturday and Sunday 17th & 18th of October (2009) at the Wycombe Judo Centre and Laindon Community Centre (Essex).
Participants from the UK, Sweden, Germany, as well as students from our Central London based UCL Koryu Uchinadi Club attended.
The Saturday seminar worked on old-school karate applications, including nage-waza (throws and takedowns) and ne-waza (groundwork) both applied from the clinch and from tegumi futaru geiko (hand-grappling flow drills).
The Sunday seminar was reserved for the KU Chokyu-gata and 2-person drills, an old-school interpretation of the Gekisai kata developed by Miyagi Chojun and Nagamine Shoshin in 1941.
Thanks to all participants for travelling down to London and to Renshi Olaf for delivering the seminars on behalf of the IRKRS.
Arigato!

October 20, 2009 at 10:40 am · I’m writing to thank you for Saturday,for inviting me and for providing such an inspirational oppurtunity to train with a teacher such as Olaf Krey who was truly outstanding.Thanks again.Got to admit I felt out of my depth especially after the first part, but I felt that way at the Wycombe Hanshi seminar as well I remember.
I wonder if I could ask you to e mail me any pics you have eg the group pic or any others detailing tecniques?That would be great.Good luck Joost-san and I hope to see you again in the not too distant future,Dave.
