I am delighted to report that the
attendance for the course more than doubled in numbers and this year with
representatives from Germany, Iceland, Portugal, Denmark, Belgium,
Sheffield, Winchester, Northampton and London.
We covered a full compliment of the Goju Ryu syllabus including basics,
moving combinations, Sanchin, supplementary training, kata, bunkai and
iri-kumi together, with additional focus on the White Crane part of the
system, from which self defence mechanisms can be researched. New and
renewed friendships were formed between ladies who have come from all over
Europe and I was very pleased that ladies from Kempo and Wado-Ryu were
able to attend and hope that you will all now be regulars! It is extremely
fulfilling for me to have been a part of such an enthusiastic group of
ladies, who's unswerving determination in training was truly
wholeheartedly uplifting. It was a pleasure to be part of this experience
and once again my thanks to everyone for their support and commitment in
attendance.
My thanks to Sensei George for his help in organising the event, Andy for
the wonderful T-shirts and Maroulla for lunch and English Tea, it was much
appreciated!
I look forward very much to next year, but hope to see you all again soon
Sensei Linda Marchant
