Unfortunately Lee cannot attend the sponsored ukemi event with everyone else next week, so he said he would do it early. He knocked out the 100 flips in just under 12 minutes. Video evidence provided below (sped up thankfully). Well done Lee, very impressive.

Charity Self Defence Class
We are holding a Self Defence Class on Friday 23rd September 6pm-8pm (the evening before the South of the River Seminar). Cost is a £5 donation to SAGA Charitable Trust. Instruction will be from Jim Dempster.
It is an open event, so all adults of any fitness level are welcome to attend.

Sponsored Ukemi Challenge
As you may already know, Genryukan Aikido are holding a sponsored ukemi challenge on Monday 19th September. The challenge is for each participant to perform 100 flips (over arm breakfalls) within the single class.
We are raising money for SAGA Charitable Trust. We are looking to pay for a bore hole to provide 2000 people in Mukuni village, Zambia with a permanent clean water supply.
If you would like the sponsorship form you can download it here
We will of course film the event for everyone’s enjoyment afterwards.
Your support is very much appreciated.
