Last weekend, the technicians of Judo Kodokan Cesena 1966, Vladimiro Burioli 7th dan black belt and Francesco Di Leonforte and Michael Zoffoli both 5th dan black belts, participated in the annual training dedicated to Regional and National technicians in Rome.
The organization managed by the Castelverde sports club included a two-day full immersion on the tatami to reflect on various judo topics. After being warmly welcomed and exchanging greetings, the technicians from many regions of Italy climbed onto the mat and began to work.
The stage was introduced by the master of the National Commission Gigi Moscato who suggested a very ancient Kata, the Go No Kata.
Kata is a Japanese art form that offers a series of codified movements that represent various fighting techniques. Subsequently, the control techniques of Katame Waza were analyzed.
In the afternoon, however, master Maurizio Casu began his lesson with a randori (standing fight) and ended with levers and neck checks.
On Sunday another Kata was proposed which was particularly appreciated by all the masters. At the end of the two days, the national technical manager Claudio Bufalini congratulated those present and publicly praised the Cesena judokas, asking them to sing the song that best represents them: Romagna mia.
Between a more or less tuned note and the help of the Emilian ‘brothers’, the technicians from Romagna managed to involve all the masters present in a single choir.
The next appointment on the calendar is the teachers internship which will take place in Modena in November.
