Aberdeen Master Class

On Wednesday the 10^th of November, Aberdeen had their first Master Class. I can easily say it was a complete success. Almost all of our members were able to attend, some with a bit of apprehension about what to expect, as this was for most of them their first Seminar with Master Daher.

We started the seminar with self defence technique. We learned about techniques to release from an attacker if grabbed by the wrist, elbow and shoulder.  After a bit of confusion, and with practice we slowly got through this. It really is something that we will need to practise many times so that it becomes a subconscious “reaction” movement. I know everybody really enjoyed this part of the seminar.

We then moved onto reviewing some of the kicks and it was back to basics. We all needed to practice this as over time the correct technique can easily be lost. So we worked on side- piercing kick, turning kick and back kick “movement by movement”. I know this was really important and it encouraged everyone in the class to really think about what they were doing, how to do it correctly and why it is important to do it that way, rather than just throwing the kick out there.

Master Daher was a very good and patient instructor. I know everyone came away feeling very good about what they did and will be looking forward to the next Master Class.

Thankyou Master Daher.
