Well, I can't make the journey to Okinawa this year, but thankfully, a gem from Okinawa came to my town instead! I am very thankful for the opportunity to train with Terauchi Kazuo Sensei, even if it was hard as hell!

The event was held in Dentoh dojo, Rose Hill Community centre in Sutton and was attended by approximately 60 -70 adult and teen students.

This is only a quick blog about the event which was greatly appreciated by all who attended. Four of us from G.M.A.U.K. were able to attend but only 3 of us could train! Vic, Matt and Koray from Hornsey dojo attended but unfortunately, Koray had to sit out because of injury. But, he made a great cameraman!

YOKU DEKIMASHITA! (WELL DONE) TO ALL STUDENTS WHO PASSED AT TODAY'S GRADING!
I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE STANDARD OF KARATE AMONG THE STUDENTS WHO ATTEMPTED AND ACHIEVED THEIR NEXT GRADE LEVEL TODAY.
NOW YOU NEED TO GO BACK IN YOUR KARATE AND SHARPEN UP YOUR TECHNIQUES AND KATA UP TO YOUR CURRENT GRADE BELT SO IT WILL MAKE LEARNING YOUR NEXT KATA A LITTLE EASIER.
THANKS TO DAVE FOR PUTTING THE JUNIORS THROUGH THEIR PACES WITH THE BAGWORK AND PRESS UPS, SIT-UPS AND SQUATS.
THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL PARENTS AND GUARDIANS FOR GETTING YOU DOWN TO EACH CLASS AND SUPPORTING YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR TRAINING. I KNOW FOR SOME, THIS CAN BE HARD WORK SOMETIMES!
I HAVE A FEW PICS WHICH I TOOK, BUT I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD EMAIL ME SOME OF YOURS FROM TODAY SO I CAN ADD TO THE COLLECTION!

YOURS IN KARATE-DO

SENSEI KEVIN
