Here are the videos uploaded so far. Please wander through them and please make some comments! As time passes I'll periodically upload more video footage of my karate, and training under and assisting) Tetsuhiko Asai Sensei. The teaching section shows how I conduct technical seminars. This is important, as spreading Asai Karate is my prime target as an instructor, as "very few" others (I'm talking a handful at best - worldwide) are doing this effectively. I must emphasise here that I'm by no means claiming to be a talented karateka, however I try my best to follow Asai-ha Shotokan-ryu as Sensei taught it, and have had first-hand experience (and this is technically reflected in my karate, which seems to seriously disturb some people).

Talk is cheap, only physical skill talks: My belief is that talk is cheap, just as words on paper or text read off a computer screen are. This is the reason for the videos and photos on this blog.
They are not to show off, but rather act as proof that I'm not some ninny tapping on a computer. There are plenty of people out there who are `internet karate masters'. The pictures and videos essentially qualify my words, as dan ranks, qualifications, photos with famous instructors, and championship titles are completely insufficient in this regards (they mean nothing `standards-wise'). My philosophy is to always to "TALK WITH MY KARATE FIRST". I hope you enjoy these clips and that they supplement the articles on here. Osu, André Bertel.
