Update: Iain Abernethy & Mike Liptrot Seminar 2011 (28th & 29th of 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.
