It’s been a little while since we put any video clips up here on the blog; so I thought it was about time we put that right!
As many of you will know, I recently purchased the rights to all my martial arts DVDs. One of the positives of this big dent in our finances is that we can now make use of that footage in some pretty exciting ways!
One thing I will now be doing is putting short clips from the DVDs on this blog so you good people can have free online mini lessons! This first short clip is a few bits of footage from my “Masters Seminar” DVD.
This DVD was filmed at “The Masters Seminar” a few years ago, where a number of the UK’s leading martial artists – from a variety of differing arts and styles – got together to teach. I did a session on how Naihanchi / Tekki kata teaches the skills associated with covering and clinching. Whilst the DVD records the full session, this clip looks at the use of the opening “salutation” and some of the counter clinching later on in the form.
If you click on the “play now” link below (or the “play in pop up” link) it will allow you to view the clip. The blog’s built in player has limits on the file size it can work with so we had to keep the file size down for this clip. Therefore the clip may get a little grainy if you blow it up too much. However, if you watch it at standard size it will be clear enough.
Warning: The methods shown on this clip are potentially dangerous and must not be attempted by anyone unless they are in good health and under the direct supervision of a suitably qualified and experienced martial arts instructor.
I hope you enjoy this short online video lesson; and if you’d like to see more, please check out the DVD or the associated download. I’ll be back with more soon!
All the best,
Iain
