28th June session – anniversary session
Quick warmup followed by
Ukemi practice
Tandoku Undo; Unsoku & Tegatana Dosa
Gohon-no-kuzushi for white and yellow belts
Randori-no-kata & kaeshi-kata for green belts
It was also our first anniversary session, so cake was on the menu.
Again, a big thank you to all the people (students and instructors) who have been supporting us so far.
Happy Birthday Genryukan!
Genryukan Aikido dojo is now 1 year old!
To be honest, I can’t believe it has been that long already.
I would like to thank everybody who have helped the club to keep going. That goes to the coaches (Phil, Tom & Eoin), and the senseis who have been helping us like Jim Dempster, Shaun Hoddy and also Neil Saunders.
The support from the other clubs is also excellent with regular visits between venues.
A big “thank you” is due to Dover Bushido Judo club who has kindly agreed to let us use their mats so we can have a proper place to train.
But most of all, thank you and well done to all the students who have kept training and working hard. After all, it is not “my club” or the “instructors’ club”, but our club. Keep up the good work guys, there’s still a lot to do and learn (for students and coaches alike).
In order to celebrate, we will have a “club meeting” on Saturday 3rd July 2010. The details are still to be decided, but I’ll let everybody know via Facebook. If you don’t have an account, just contact me and I’ll let you know what’s going on.
