Karate seminar: Takafumi ‘Taka’ Nakayama

Description:

Sensei Takafumi ‘Taka’ Nakayama, 7th Dan Shorin-Ryu Shido-kan Karate, from Nakayama Dojo in Fukuoka, Japan, will be a guest in Settimo Torinese on September 28th for a jam-packed Karate day. The seminar’s focus will be on soft block techniques.

The seminar is open to all Karate practitioners of all styles.

Sensei Takafumi Nakayama will be teaching a gentle Suidi blocking exercise in the old style, emphasizing simultaneous striking while intercepting the attack. Suidi soft blocks need to be felt to be properly understood, as it’s not just about deflecting a strike, as most believe. It requires years of practice to skillfully employ them, but afterwards, one can turn the attacker’s force against them.

About Sensei Takafumi:
Takafumi Sensei learned Karate from his father, Masanori Nakayama Sensei, and several other renowned Karate teachers such as Katsuya Miyahira Sensei, Seikichi Iha Sensei, Koichi Nakasone Sensei, and Abet Presincula Sensei. Sensei Taka is an open-minded individual who loves Karate and imparts his knowledge wholeheartedly. For him, there are no boundaries in Karate.
