At Summer School 2024, in Chester as it always is, we had another two successful gradings. Sorry, no photos for this one.
Congratulations to Pawel for a superb Ikkyu (1st kyu) grading, and to Hernan for an exemplary Nidan grading (2nd dan).
Summer School was the usual mix of intense practice with the visiting instructor from Hombu dojo, Japan. This year Kanazawa Takeshi, Shihan 7th Dan, demonstrated many basics in great detail and concluded the week with a yokumen-uchi masterclass. Don Morgan, Ian McClarence, Peter Gillard, Ken Marsden, and several other instructors delivered the other practices.
Summer School will be back next year, in Chester, probably starting Saturday 2nd August.
