Oxford, England with Sensei Dirk Heene
The Oxford Club hosted a course with Sensei Dirk Heene from Belgium on 23/24 June 2007. Over 50 karateka attended, special thanks to Toufik who brought 11 of his students with him to train from his club in London.
Sensei Heene�s theme for the weekend was based on 4 elements:
  1) concentration
  2) tension in your legs and lower abdomen
  3) contracting and expansion
  4) imagination.
These are needed in order for us to perform our techniques to a high level. Bassai Dai Oyo kata (both Omote and Ura in the same kata) was used as the platform for kumite drills.

The photos were taken in the advanced class prior to the main class on Saturday.
