We had Sensei Nicole Greenstreet down to our club last night (Wed Oct 15) to teach. She is the owner of the karate club in Sharbot Lake. Mark and I have gone to her club lots of times to train and to teach and we always have an awesome time. She has amazing students who absolutely love her. Their enthusiasm is very inspirational and we always leave feeling refreshed.
This time, however, she came to us. She did an introductory grappling class for the kids where the focus was on learning to move into various positions smoothly. Her interpretation and method of teaching was amazing. The kids loved the class and were able to follow the instructions well. She ended the hour with belt grappling. This is where you start on your knees facing your partner and the goal is to remove your partner's belt and tie it around their leg before they are able to do the same to you. This was hilarious to watch and judging by the huge smiles and loud laughter from the kids, it was equally enjoyed by them as well.
Sensei Niki brought a couple of her students with her, Daniel and Kyle. They were lots of fun and made for very good ukes. They were able to stay for our adult class after which was great. It was really cool training next to Sensei Niki on the floor again. It's been way too long!
All in all, a great night with great friends and awesome karate. That's what it's all about!
