Sensei Anthoni ran the 11 years and under Kumite session. Working on numerous Punching Drills and blocking and counter punches. After a short break, the training resumed working on hook and sweeping techniques.
The class finished off with everyone demonstrating their sweeps and pleased to say, most were able to sweep by the end of the session.
The training ended with all students having a group photo and a welcome to J Honeywood Karate Academy that recently joined the Frontier Karate Association.

Sensei Paul took the 2nd session, Sensei Paul worked on kicking drills and the finer points of Mawashigeri and Ura Mawashigeri to be used in competition karate.
