Introductory Seminars ~
Pressure Points
These Seminars have proven to be a great success and have helped many Martial Artists in
their search for a realistic reason for the moves found in Kata, Patterns and Forms.
All we ask of Seminar attendess is that they adhere to the advice given when practicing
these techniques. They are extremely dangerous at full speed and power and as such should
be treated with the utmost care and consideration for your training partner.
Seminar Content
This will vary depending on the participants, but the main topics will include:
| Types of Pressure Point |
| 5 Element Theory |
| Yin and Yang |
| Quadrant Theory |
We will also cover the common misconceptions surrounding Kata Bunkai / applications. By
applying the science mentioned above we can better utilise the knowledge that we already
possess.
We will demonstrate and the attendees will use and apply all the above sciences throughout
the seminar. It is a true hands on seminar.
Seminar attendees health and safety is of paramount importance, it is with this in mind
that "Any attendee using undue excess force on their training partner will be asked
to leave". The techniques and science shown is extremely dangerous and should be
treated accordingly.
You will not need to go above 10% of your available power on any of the techniques we show
in orderto make them work very effectively. Most of the techniques will be shown to work
at much less power!
All Introductory Seminars are priced at £10.00 per student for a 3hr Seminar.
These seminars are designed to incorporate the principles learnt from an Introductory Seminar into a coherent learning process to enable the attendee to analyse Kata effectively.
Various Bunkai will be shown for all moves in the Kata to be broken down and analysed. More importantly the principles upon which the Bunkai is made will be shown and explained.
These Seminars are designed to make the attendee think of Bunkai, analyse the Kata being shown and other moves in other Kata within their system.
Bunkai will be shown at three levels;
This means, that effective and usable Bunkai will be shown for most moves in the Kata as a defence against the above three types of attack.
These Seminars can best be thought of as a stepping stone to the Advanced Seminars with Grand Master Rick Moneymaker.
As time goes on we will be adding Seminar reviews for your perusal, along with photographs and comments from attendees. We will display all comments both good and bad. These reviews are designed to give you an insight into what type of courses are available from the OCI.
