October 19, 2014 - A clinic with John Kerker

 


 

Yesterday I had the pleasure to attend a clinic with John Kerker in Chicopee, Mass. At Clarence Whitley’s Budokai. It was as it has been for the last 10 years as intimate training experience.

 

 

This time Kerker Sensei focused on developing power through relaxed core training, and I was very interested in the manner he stressed the difference between kihon and kata, and the purpose kata training provides. He continues to effortlessly move from one response into another response.

 

 

Each time another kernel of what makes our art greater. Then on the ride home another ‘ah ha’ moment, one to keep me working for years.
