Michael Barr: Asai Karate Training in NZ (Article 1)

Here's a link to the first of five articles (written by Michael Barr Sensei of UK) who recently came to New Zealand and undertook Asai style Shotokan training with me. Michael also filmed some video footage which he has uploaded on youtube. Michael Sensei studies Asai-ha Shotokan-ryu Karatedo under Ron Bellwood Shihan (IJKA 7th Dan) and Shuseki Shihan Sadashige Kato (IJKA 9th Dan).

Here's article one: http://wyrekarateijka.blogspot.com/2011/01/review-your-approach-to-training.html and here's the first video (a little clip of one of Asai Sensei's applications of Tekki-shodan kata): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUia8Rf9gPg
