Iain Abernethy Seminar – Comparing Bassai Dai and Bassai Sho

We are hosting on the 11th May with Iain Abernethy, the theme will be the applications of both Passai / Bassai-Dai and Sho. The Sho version of Passai / Bassai was created by Anko Itosu and shows some interesting alternatives and variations to the methods encapsulated in the original kata. This seminar will give a good overview of the totality of the Passai / Bassai system. No prior knowledge of either kata is needed.
