All Genryukan students please note we have moved Saturday training times back by half an hour.

So Saturday training is now from 9.30am – 11.30am.

In other news – To further our aim of giving excellent value for money, all students who complete 2 subsequent training sessions at Genryukan Dover within a 7 day period, will receive £1 off the usual 2 hour session fee. This means, any student who attends on both Monday and Saturday will save £2 a week. For those mathematically minded folks, this represents a 20% saving off the regular session fees and a whopping 33% off Student & concessions fees. We hope this proves a popular initiative.

I managed to cobble together what I could from Monday’s session. I’m not very good with video editing, and its seems more than a little glitchy. I couldn’t get it to overlay my music like normal, so I let Youtube choose a track automatically, and I think it did rather well…… Enjoy
