Provisional Date for Norton Dojo Night Out

Because it's too long to wait in-between Christmas parties, The Norton Dojo Summer night our provisional date : Sat June 7th. Let Ian know if you can/can't make it and we'll juggle as needed.

Upcoming Training with Sensei George - 19th & 20th April

Sensei George is coming to town (You know if it were closer to christmas I think we could make that work as a song, anyway).

Saturday 19th April 2008 at the English Institute of Sport 11am - 2pm
And Sunday 12th at Hallam Dojo.

Training - Friday 11th Apr '08

Loads of fun, warmed up doing some light San Dan Gi then spent a good hour practicing Renzoku Bunkai (Which I badly needed) and finished up with a half hour of self-defense / wristy-twisty wor focusing on bunkai for one, two and double handed grabs. Never ceases to amaze me just how much of a good exercise San Dan Gi is! Ooh and sensei grabbed a couple of new clips for the next vid.

On a related note, found this blog: http://karatelog.blogspot.com/2005/06/egka-summer-gradings-2005-write-up.html which might be worth the odd read.
