A Seminar Sponsored by

Upper Canada Shotokan Dojo
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
University of Ottawa (Downtown Campus)

led by

Yoram Cohen (Godan)

This special seminar emphasizes training methods to increase ones hip power, balance, agility and coordination. The hips are central to effective karate techniques. Therefore, the hips and legs should be especially trained, keeping in mind total body training. Learning how to train and use one's hips in kihon practice, kata and kumite will be emphasized. The seminar will also help attendees design individualized exercises to develop hip and lower body strength, speed and agility. The ultimate objectives are to improve one's form and to develop "live" and "courageous" hips so as to unite effective techniques with a successful fighting strategy.
