Winter Course 2023

A huge thank you to all of you that attended this years Winter Course this weekend.

2 days of excellent training overseen by Sensei Sugasawa. Preceded by 2 days of extra training for those that felt 2 days wasn’t enough for them!

Special thank you to Sensei Shaw for organising the training agenda and Sensei Barham, Wymer and Selby helping to deliver it so magnificently!

Finally, thank you to Sensei Dodd for bringing along her wonderful juniors for some training and grading (and a scary chat with Sensei).

Those of you who traveled from far and wide and those that gave lifts to all. Thank you.

Congratulations to the 3 x kyu candidates who passed and to Mark Troman for his excellent performance securing him a well deserved 2nd Dan.

Finally. Please feel free to give us feedback on how we can improve things for next year . Please post your photos and feel free to share .

As always if you are interested in joining us in the dojo you are more than welcome .

In the words of a long term student on Sunday, ‘This is my happy place’. Agreed.
