HDKI 2025 San Diego: Sensei Steve Ubl, Friday Night Session Q&A

18 Minutes of Q&A from Sensei Steve Ubl’s session on Friday night at the HDKI Summer Camp in San Diego, July 25, 2025. Session had just gone over Tekki Shodan kata, so many of these questions relate to that. Audio is a bit rough. I opted to turn the volume up but forgo the AI audio denoising as it clips too much. Hopefully you can hear what is said well enough.
