Training was cancelled at the IJKA New Zealand Honbu Dojo (based at CPIT) so instead it was shovelling snow followed by the Tekki and Kibaken kata, and calisthenics (kihoken styled squats, and a variety of push ups & abdominal crunches).
Dedicated to the memory of Tetsuhiko Asai Sensei (10th Dan) the nucleus of this site is my personal focus on the Shotokan of the old JKA (Japan Karate Association) and the highly effective developments engineered by Asai Sensei. Following Sensei's example, this online resource will also include some of the innovations I've worked on as a Japan trained and internationally qualified instructor and examiner. Welcome, relax and please enjoy!
