On the morning of Saturday March 22nd, Shihan Mark Shelmerdine and Shihan James Sidwell led a beach training session at Freshwater Beach in Sydney for students of Turramurra Dojo. Special guests included Sensei Mark Long from Taree Dojo and photographer Masumi Lipman.
The training included fitness and basic training on the sand and in the waves, and kumite in the waves, finishing with some water wheel kicks.
Thanks to Masumi for the photography, Sensei Mark’s partner Ken for his support, and for the parents who came to watch, cheer and dry off some damp young karateka after the surf kumite.
