About the event
To avoid the usual confusion, a seminar in martial arts terms is training with a guest instructor covering a specific subject, you will be on the mats practiciing and training - not sat listening to somone lecture!!
This seminar is open to Karate and Taekwon-Do students 10 years and older.
Mr Abernethy teaches the applications for our movements with insight that is seldom seen, a true expert in the history as well as the practicality of each technique. His insight will cover Taekwon-Do and Karate techniques and he has been a personal inspiration to both Mr and Mrs East over the years,
He is also a really friendly and open person so there is no need to worry, the seminar will be interesting, fun and exciting.
The seminar is 4 hours long (there will be breaks) and the fee for the event is £40. You must register and pay in advance, ideally no later than 14th April but if you need to pay later than this please speak to us.
This is an event that anyone serious about martial arts training should not miss.
