When I uploaded the video, I completely forgot to do the same for the photos I had taken. Anyway I remembered today so they are now in the gallery.
Genryukan attended the Tissier Shihan Seminar in Dartford at the weekend. I managed to get a little footage, and have haphazardly thrown it all together in the hope it is watch-able.
It was a very well attended seminar, I would estimated there were approx 100 people on the mat. Tissier Shihan was on top form, and as usual very charismatic.
Thanks to Brighton Aikikai for arranging the seminar.
Lots of Ukemi
