Report – Tim Shaw Sensei, Doncaster 2025.

‘How am I benefitting from this?’
‘What am I getting from this?’ 

This was the theme that ran in the background of the seminar delivered by Tim Shaw 7th Dan Sensei, (The Budo Journeyman), hosted by Andrew Genery Sensei and Kishinkai Wado Ryu.

Sensei promised 2 deep dives:

(1) Wado Ryu basics Junzuki and Junzuki No Tsukkomi, moving on to the Wado Ryu staple, Nagashizuki. This was tied in with the end of Pinan Nidan and using body rotation as a revolving door. The key principles of Meoto te and Kobo no Ichi were highlighted while performing Nagashizuki.

(2) Pinan Sandan – each part of the kata was broken down and investigated to understand the key principles.

Thanks to Tim for making the journey north to share his vast depth of knowledge. Watch this space for next time!
