These videos were shot in February 2018 while we were giving a joint seminar together with Sven.
We taught the seminar together, but to give a chance to the group to experience Sven's vast knowledge, he could give a 2-hour session alone.
That one class is availalble in this course. It was taught by Sven alone and deals with basic and advanced concepts concerning attitude, Uke, Tori, Gyaku waza, and other things.
Sven shows the basics in a new approach that will please beginners as well as advanced practitioners. Great teaching!
Sven and I will have another seminar in Bangalore next year in 2019.
