Seminar 1 Topics
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are these for?
The seminars are for all students with an interest in expanding their advanced training knowledge. They are based on our ‘masters’ training topics, and will take them to a much more in-depth level than covered in class.
Open to
- All adult members
- Junior Experienced (Green+) with parents permission
- Experienced martial arts practitioners from other schools
- Non-traditional participants with relevant experience (security etc)
Do I have to attend?
No, these are completely optional,
There’s no expectation or obligation for anyone to attend.
They are simply aimed to provide some additional advanced training for those who want it. If that’s not your thing, nobody is going to think badly of you for not attending :-)
Do I need the Seminars for my Gradings?
No, the seminars are stand-alone events to give extra training opportunities to those who want it, and will not be expected for your normal belt progression.
We’ll be working on advanced topics we’d not normally have time to cover in class, but none of this stuff is required for grading, and you won’t miss out anything needed for your normal progress in class.
Do I need to attend all the seminars?
No, each event is stand-alone and will cover different topics,
There is no expectation or requirement of attendance at previous seminars to attend or benefit from each event, but there will be some special bonus rewards and ‘secret sauce’ for those who do commit to do so… Watch this space… ;-)

Stay on for Mr Pratt’s special request of a mega sparring session…

Do I need any specific equipment?
