11/3指導部セミナー

On Friday, November the 3rd Meiryukan held a mini seminar taught by two recently promoted 4 dan instructors - The Noda club representative, Tanaka sensei and the Nagareyama club representative, Noda sensei. Over 30 students from varions Meiryukan clubs, both kids and adults joined the 2 hour training.

Noda sensei focused on proper uke. Keeping the connection and giving energy. Don`t be a dead uke. Let your partner feel you so they can understand the technique.
