We’ve received great news this week as our grant application has been accepted by Sport England (http://www.sportengland.org/). We just have to complete some paperwork and we should soon get funds to acquire brand new mats!
All thanks to the funds from the National Lottery. 🙂
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.
