May 2011 Update: Bonus Podcast
Iain Abernethy & Mike Liptrot Training Weekend!
Hi Everyone,
A quite update to let you know a bonus podcast has been added to the site! All
the details can be found below.
Please also below find details of the forthcoming weekend seminar with myself
and leading Judo coach Mike Liptrot! It is always a great weekend and those
intending to come need to act quickly.
I’ve got loads to share with you in the next newsletter (out in June) but I hope
the podcast keeps you informed and entertained until then!
Speak soon!
All the best,
Iain

Bonus Podcast: Karate & Self-Protection, Injuries and Q&A
Here
is a bonus podcast for those who just can’t wait until June! In this podcast we
have three main sections. I look at Karate’s most common failings when it comes
to self-protection, injury avoidance and management, and questions from
listeners.
We frequently see karate training being promoted as an effective form of
self-protection, but I think it would be fair to say that the common way karate
is taught does not deliver. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with
karate; it is more to do with the way it is approached. So in this podcast I
look at some common problem areas when looking at karate from a self-protection
perspective. I think it would also be fair to say that these problems are by no
means unique to karate either and certainly apply to other arts and approaches.
However, as a karateka myself, I have presented things from a karate perspective
in the podcast.
The second part of the podcast looks at injury avoidance, injury management and
how to keep progressing when injured. I give a few pointers that I have found
useful over the years and I hope you do too.
The final part of the podcast is the ever popular listeners’ questions! In that
section we look at kata bunkai, the use of the ridge-hand strike, action vs.
reaction, fitting training into our busy lives, keeping motivated and whether
moderating the power of our blows is appropriate in self-protection.
Please remember that if you want to skip ahead to any given section, listings of
all the timing are embedded in comments of the podcast.
I hope you enjoy it!

Iain Abernethy & Mike Liptrot Course 2011 (28th & 29th May)!
On
the 28th & 29th of May Iain Abernethy & Mike Liptrot will be teaching a
not-to-be-missed two day martial arts seminar! This is the fifth annual seminar
Iain and Mike have done together. These events have been extremely popular and
we expect this year's event to fill up very quickly.
Once again, this event will take place in the highly impressive Kendal Judo Club Dojo - a recognised Olympic facility - which is in the heart of the Lake District national park.
This seminar is open to all martial artists - regardless of background, style, and current level of ability - who wish to develop competence in a wide range of martial skills. The training will be a combination of the physical and the theoretical (including short lectures and presentations).
Topics covered will include: karate trapping / limb-control drills, practical throws and takedowns, effectively dealing with multiple assailants (drills and theory), developing an effective physical conditioning program, kata application, result and context driven training (“the martial map”), effective groundwork, and a whole host of pragmatic grappling, striking, fighting and self-protection drills and concepts.
