Yesterday, Thursday, April 19^th, Sensei Dave Austin gave another thrilling Kumite session at Egham Karate Club. Sensei Austin gave the analogy of a spider waiting ever ready and responds immediately to any interference with its web. Sensei Austin likened the spider’s web to the space around the karateka which they must maintain and respond as soon as an opponent or a threat enters it.

In a series of sparring drills beginning with very basic touch and evade and gradually escalating up to Jiyu Kumite we practiced different scenarios and hones our Kumite skills. In between there were plenty of press-ups just to make sure we keep fits and get back in line quickly.

In addition to the regular Egham Club members the special session attracted karatekas from Woking, Farnborough and Royal Holloway University.

Next session is on this coming Thursday, April 26^th.
