Christer and Simon practice during the camp in Gothenburg<\/p><\/div>\n

During the weekend of January 12 to 13 there was a Gasshuku<\/em> (training camp) in Gothenburg, that was focused on embu<\/em>, but there were also a lot of time for seih\u014d<\/em>. We were five kenshi<\/em> from Karlstad who went down to Gothenburg early on Saturday morning. It was Christer, Alva, Simon Pelle and Anders.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Training started at 10.00 and it was a little over twenty participants (all could not attend the whole weekend so some are missing on the group photo). Of course this Gasshuku<\/em> also had things like\u00a0chinkon gy\u014d<\/em> and some kihon<\/em>, but the focus was on training embu<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Anders-sensei<\/em> held a h\u014dwa<\/em> (lecture) about embu<\/em> and explained how to put together an embu<\/em>, what the regulations and rules are for embu<\/em> competition etc.<\/p>\n

On Sunday we also had some time practising on the new type of kumi embu<\/em> that is included in the grading test in the new grading system with will start from 1st of April. All were also given the opportunity to demonstrate some embu<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Simon<\/a>

We also had a few sessions with seih\u014d<\/em> that Arnaud-sensei taught. This was much appreciated by many of our members and hopefully we can arrange a day when Arnaud can come up to Karlstad and spend a little more time on seih\u014d<\/em><\/em>.<\/p>\n

There was also some time set aside for training h\u014dkei<\/em> for each rank and the opportunity to ask questions about techniques.<\/p>\n

Saturday evening we went out to eat together and those of us that were not from Gothenburg all stayed in their dojo.<\/p>\n

Below are some more pictures from the weekend.<\/p>\n
