We had great fun on Saturday at our Tuam Karate Nunchaku Beginners Course. Sensei Stephen Kelly kindly came down to Tuam to instruct the course. We started with a mix of ages where we covered basic holding, catching and throwing to get familiar with handling the weapon. As the day progressed Sensei Stephen helped us all develop all the basic strikes, blocks and the movement of the nunchaku.
After a small break all of the younger children finished up and the adults and teenagers where introduced to some more difficult aspects of movement with nunchaku. We covered Kihon Nunchaku Kata, with Sensei Stephen taking time and care to demonstrate movements and applications within the kata and through partner work. Everyone had a wonderful time and there was a buzz from the small children all the way up to the adults class.
A big thanks to Sensei Stephen Kelly and all students who participated on the day.
