It was an excellent week. Pete Bonser gained his instructor’s qualification on the Tuesday. Thursday’s kata competition went well with Steve Bailey taking second in the black belt kata, Scott Fleming taking first in the brown belt kata and Kerry Thomas, Tim Hudson and Iwan Roderick came first, third and fourth in the colour belt competition.

As usual the course was top notch, mentally and physically exhausting but extremely rewarding and inspirational as always.
Also making the trip was Sensei Paul James, Sensei Toni James, Nathaniel Wright, Emily Wilkin, Tonje Claussen, Sam Cuddy and Tash Archer.
