Martial Arts Skills Seminar!

Martial Arts Skills Seminar!
The 2nd Annual Martial Arts Seminar was a Success!

February 17, 2007 — Students from across Mid Michigan filled the Finch Gymnasium on the Campus of Central Michigan University to participate in the 2nd Annual Martial Arts Skills Seminar hosted by Central Michigan Karate Club. The seminar provided a focused workshop on specific aspects of martial arts training. The categories for the day were: Fighting, Forms, Self-Defense, One Steps and Breaking. The workshop allowed students to work in small groups with Black Belts to fine tune their martial arts skills and learn advanced concepts that are sometimes not available in their classroom.

The day was full of excitement to the very end, which concluded with a Power Breaking Demonstration. Power breaks demonstrate the mental and physical aspects of martial arts training. Mr. Chad Simon demonstrated a powerful hand technique breaking 8 inches of concrete and Mr. Douglas Resseguie demonstrated a powerful Axe Kick smashing 14 inches of concrete.

A special thanks to Central Michigan University and to all the key individuals who helped plan and run the event. The events success was clearly seen in the smiles on student’s faces.

Students that attended represented the following schools:
CMU Karate Club – Central Michigan University
MMCC Karate Club - Mid Michigan Community College
Harrison Karate Club – Harrison Dance & Creativity Center
Weidman Karate Club – Weidman Elementary School
Mesick Karate Club – Mesick School System
