Master Robert Simpson Instructs at Luton 12th Dec 2010
Above - Sifu Rob Simpson with Luton Higashi
The Luton Lunatics were once again honoured to welcome Sifu Rob Simpson to the dojo as their guest instructor. Rob is one of the world's leading shaolin kung fu masters and his seminars always prove to be enlightening and a little frightening.
The seminar was four hours long again this year and we covered areas outside of karate including locks throws and a short staff form.
The locks and throws were against attackers grabbing one or both wrists, elbows or the throat and proved to be extremely effective with a minimum of effort.
Above - Firstly, Sifu Rob Simpson would demonstrate the move on Sensei John Hurley
Below - Then John practices it on Alex

Below - And then the punch
Above - And then it's Alex's turn

Above - Enrico on Pete
Below - Doc on Jeff . . . I think . . . it's hard to tell at this angle!

All in all, it was a very enjoyable and enlightening lesson where we learnt to come to grips with the softer - but no less destructive - side of martial arts.
Our thanks go to Sifu Rob Simpson and we are already looking forward to next year's seminar!
