Check out the video and photos of Tissier Shihan teaching last year!

EDIT: We hope you enjoy this new teaching video from last years seminar:

At long last the resident video-monkey has been able to edit down some of the footage from the Seminar with Christian Tissier back in February.

Rather than a fast-and-furious demo-reel, the video is a refresher of some of the techniques and principles taught during the day.

We hope you like it!
