Shitoryu Free Sparring - an old video from the past



This video was taken sometime in 2011 with my friend and sparring mate, Looi Teck Kheong. The blocks and punches were held back and we were 'playing' for the cameras.

Not the best of sparring, as I am over the hill physically :)

Our Karate Club is now 21 years old but sadly, the attendance has dwindled to below 10, a sad reflection of the lack of interest in the martial arts and the rise of the more 'sexy' MMA and shorter impact aerobics which in my opinion lack culture and finesses. Rather they focus on the quickest and easiest way to condition the body.  

Hopefully I can post some more recent sparring videos in the near future.
