Subject: The First Ever Iain Abernethy Residential Course!
The First Ever Iain Abernethy Residential Course!
Early next year I will be running me first ever
residential course! The course will be open to just twelve people and will
consist of twenty-three hours of training. This will be an in-depth course with
everyone getting lots of personal attention which is why the numbers are
strictly limited. The course content will also be shaped by the participants.
Each participant can choose the theme for one-hour (12 hours of training) with
me choosing the content for the remaining 11 hours. I will bring it altogether
to produce a holistic in-depth course covering many aspects of practical karate,
kata bunkai, self-protection, etc.
The course will be held at a beautiful location in Shropshire. The location has
an inbuilt dojo and we have the entire place to ourselves. Please see the
photographs to get a better idea of the quality of the venue. Training finishes
each day at 7pm to give plenty of time for relaxation and informally chatting
about martial arts. Training times are as follows:
