A report by Gerard Kelly IV Dan IL Shim Sunshine Coast
IL Shim Umpire Manager
Well once again I have travelled to be taught by a great Master, but this is a Master we see all the time so it doesn’t mean anything I hear you say! Nothing could be further from the truth! To get your patterns corrected by an 8th Dan Master is something you should NEVER take for granted and personally I find it very rewarding! But this was only a small component of what we covered over the 2 days of intense mental and small amount of physical work! How to train young students, different ways of leading your people, how to break down movements so that they were easily digested and many more!
Having the opportunity to go through the higher black belt patterns was a highlight for me personally as I don’t get the time with Master Daher that you juniors do so to get to train with him in this manner was just fantastic!
We also got the opportunity to go through some umpiring drills to get the guys and girls comfortable with the terminology we use as referees!
Lots of fun was had by all at the BBQ at Master Dahers newly refurbished house and all in all I found this course to be very beneficial! When’s the next one I hear you ask? Keep your eyes peeled on the website for more info!!
