Sparring at Authentic Karate Training Center on 6/28

Here we are sparring again. This is the teen and adult sparring class at Authentic Karate Training Center. There are lot's of ages and experience levels on the floor.

Bio: Andrew O'Brien is a traditional martial arts enthusiast trapped in Boston. He is growing more and more allergic to all bullsh*t but his own. Andrew's experience runs the gamut of contexts across multiple styles (including Tang Soo Do, Uechi Ryu, Judo, and Krav Maga), and he has trained with world renowned martial artists and leaders in the self defense field. Perhaps most impressive, Andrew is the Supreme Grandmaster of Niwatori Ryu (in English, either "Ultimate Chicken Fist" or "Chicken Style"). In addition to being a career martial artist, Andrew is an educator in academic, martial, and life coaching contexts. In pursuit of martial excellence, Andrew has dragged his family into weirder and weirder health practices like dieting for health, turning off indoor lights after dark, and watching the sunrise every morning. On his channel, he posts videos to take your martial arts and health to the next level and to showcase his own journey.
