About the Seminar

Takafumi Nakayama Sensei (7th Dan) is a senior instructor in Shorin-Ryu Shido-Kan Karate and Ryukyu Kingdom Sui-Di Kobujutsu, with decades of experience in traditional Karate. Known for his engaging and practical teaching style, Takafumi Sensei has a rare ability to connect with students of all ages and experience levels, from junior students through to advanced adult practitioners.

 This two-hour seminar will focus on key elements of Takafumi Sensei's instruction, including:

- Sui-Di soft blocking and flowing defensive movement

- Flow drills to develop timing, control, and body awareness

- Bunkai, exploring practical application beyond formal technique

 Training will emphasise efficiency, correct body mechanics, and understanding how techniques work in real movement - not just how they look. Participants can expect to leave with useable skills, new perspectives, and renewed motivation in their training.

 This is a rare opportunity for local martial artists to train with an international guest instructor and gain insight into traditional Karate taught in a clear, practical, and accessible way.
