Sensei Max Beddow

Sensei Max Beddow has a wealth of knowledge and will go through some interesting principles, biomechanics and practical bunkai from Goju-Ryu kata. Sensei Max introduced Sam Nelstrop to Goju-Ryu karate and Sam Nelstrop attained Ni-Dan with Sensei Max. Since Sam Nelstrop established his club in Milton Keynes, Sensei Max has run several seminars in Milton Keynes. Sensei Max’s sessions are always insightful, and the focus will be on flow-drills that are easy to follow but will also give experienced practitioners some really useful take-aways.

Sensei Sam Nelstrop

Sensei Sam has been studying karate for over 30 years, starting with Kyokushinkai in the 90s in Japan. Here he attained Shodan, tested to his limits with the traditional 10-man-kumite. “This will be my first seminar and I hope to share some of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned.” Participants will be allowed to go as gentle and slow as you like or partners may mutually agree to build up to some harder kumite.
