Private karateclasses

I have time available during the day in the week or in the afternoon on sundays, and have decided to offer private tuition. Your subject and you decide when we meet and i help to point your karate in the right direction. For now the price will be 3000 kr per hour, but this may have to be adjusted in the future, according to my energy-level and available time.

In my opinion this seems like a good idea, every now and then to keep on track and to know what to change and how to improve. One on one instruction for an hour will give you a better feedback than is available in a group setting. Furthermore, i think that it will be beneficial in terms of working *your* weakest point so that your next grading will go smoothly and more importantly; to weed out bad habits that may potentially hurt you in the long run.

WHO IS NR 1 ON GOOGLE????

ITS ME!!!!!!

:D

No, really.... Google Ubl sensei and see what happens.....

I am also one the first results page with several other searches and in the last couple of days i have had hits from UK, US, Slovenia, Japan, Selfoss, Rio de Janeiro and so on..... (www.statcounter.com suddenly gave me all sorts of stats on my page, check it out)

Other than that, not much to tell, but since i have so many readers now, i will try and update things a bit more often.....

Nikken

While in Norway i came across some products that Richard Amos sensei recommended as support for my half bad knee. He had trouble with his knees on and off for several years, and after just a day with this support-thingy his knee was noticeably better.

I got kicked in the knee pretty badly, and feared that i wasnt gonna be able to complete the gashuko in Fredrikstad (this was the first day) Then after class i got this kneesupport and lo and behold, i was able to do all the classes and my knees are better than in many years.

Comfortable to wear for an extended period of time and only 3500 kr. I brought 8 of these with me back from Norway and i can possibly get more if we run out.

If you want more opinions, then Gisli, Gusta, Disa and Helga also have tried these so far. Ask em what they think of them. :-)

Niiize update from Norway.....

Only 4 days until i come home to my niiize car and niiize apartment to teach niiize stuff to the niiize icelanders again. Vacation is pretty cool, but i have to admit that i feel lazy when not moving every day.

Ohwell, 28 degrees makes me wanna just stretch out in the sun.......

;-D

Norway - 07

Jaujau...... I hate packing so i dont do it, instead of sleeping... (very clever....)

Anyways, only hours until 12 icelanders are off to the land of milk and honey. Gonna be fun (I have spoken)

If you need to get in touch with me before the 9th of july, the fastest way will be on my norwegian mobile: +47 45853944

A great gashuko in Fredrikstad and then a week with no karate at all. (WOW!! (Those weeks are quite rare))


Updates on how great the weather was and so on will follow shortly.

;-)

ICEHOT 2 :-D

Jaujau..... Icehot 2 is over, but the feeling of something very special remains. We arrived on sunday the 10th, unfortunatly without Steve Ubl sensei. He came a day late after a string of bad stuff on his flight. Good thing he was so awesome that he made up for the day he missed, many times over. His karate is so beyond anything i have ever seen from a shotokan karateka. The power, the way of applying techniques, the fluid and fast motions, the creativity of the bunkai, his politeness. All very impressive.

Richard Amos sensei was as usual impeccable. The trainings all in all was balanced and very, very informative. Add to that great weather, fabulous pasta, good location, beach-training, a decent tan and you understand why i am so excited. (Yes, i have decided to forget about the mosquitos and the crappy breakfast)

Other than that we need to find the handsome guy that talked the teachers into coming and made the superduper schedule........ (And give him a raise....... hihi)

;-D

Makotokai

Well, i am impressed.

The Makotokai (truth group) main dojo that i am visiting in Trieste is really impressive. Great facility, friendly people and excellent trainings. And whats even cooler: They will all fight and even small girls hit pretty hard.

I am taking notes and will definatly incorporate some of their drills into our classes. Looking forward to see a bunch of you guys on sunday. (Hopefully my tan will be better than the present by then, though)

:D
