 12/01/2012: Shihan ClassOnce again the Instructers of Region 9 and Region 23 benefitted from Shihan Stacy Karetsian spending a few weeks early in the New Year back home in Adelaide with family. It is an ideal opportunity for him to catch up with the locals and take a Combined Senior Class. It may have been only the second week back training, but around 50 Instructors, including over 30 Black Belts, from Region 9 and Region 23 attended the session at Secombe High School Gym.

11/04/2011 - Short Wear Is No Joke In an earlier blog entry I explained the meaning of gedan (下段, げだん, ge-da-n) as "low(est) level". The other two levels we use in GKR are chūdan (中段, ちゅうだん, chu-u-da-n) and jōdan (上段, じょうだん, jo-u-da-n).

Similarly we use groin level for gedan. Read the full article here..... |
