On Friay night Mr Trotter's Impact club put on a combined northern seniors and juniors training session with guest instructor Mr Mark Banicevich.
Mr Banicevich put them through an intensive fitness workout. When I turned up towards the end they were talking and demonstrating kicks and punches that were sure to win points versus technique which was hard to score or unlikely to be scored. Mr Trotter and Mr van Roon asked many questions and everyone present learned something. Mr Trotter wasn't impressed with some of his "cheeky" moves being picked apart from an "is that legal" point of view. He'd rather no one knew about them - too late now!
Unfortunately I didn't take my camera along but I took a handful of photos of the boys and girls team pattern demonstrations on Thursday and Saturday.
On Saturday morning the northern juniors met at McDonalds Papakura at 8am (yawn) for breakfast then headed down to PaulM for the final group training session of the week. The team were fairly worn out after Friday night's workout with Mr Banicevich - if he didn't already he now has a reputation for a mean fitness workout.

Training included group patterns, team patterns, some power, and individual sparring.
At 12pm it was time for everyone from out-of-town to go home... Michael to Gisborne; Shane, Ross, Matt and Jason back to Tauranga and Rotorua plus Johs, Callum and Sam back to Kerikeri.
Next week it's back to school :-( and regular training :-)
