Yoseikan England attended again this year the annual weekly long seminar in Aix-en-Provence in France. This was again a very successful seminar with even more attendants then the previous year.

 

We had the pleasure to train under Soke Hiroo Mochizuki, Founder of the Yoseikan-Budo style as well as his two sons Mitchi and Kyochi Mochizuki, both high calibre international experts. Additionally, various international experts in Yoseikan Budo were invited to teach for an hour on each day, making for a very interesting seminar where all the attendants had a chance to taste different perspectives of training in Yoseikan.

 

All the different aspects of Yoseikan Budo where covered, from Ground Fighting to Striking to Weapon training as well as Grappling and Kata training. For those with more energy to burn there was Yoseikan training and sparring classes in the evening.

 

We had also the honour and the privilege to train under Dominic Valera, a legendary Karate and kick-boxing master very well known in France and around the world. At 63 years of age, Valera is still able to do the splits and kick anybody in the head, proof that hard work and determination always pays.

 

All in all a very interesting seminar with lots of surprises and a lot to learn from regardless of your experience and your background in the martial arts. We hope that many more of us will be attending next year. As they say, the more the merrier.
