Sunday 5th October 2008 began life as one of those grey, wet, uninspiring types of days. We then got to the dojo and the outlook improved. A good cohort of enthusiasts braved the drizzle and were rewarded with a comprehensive study of basics and kata. These types of sessions are always tough; yet always uplifting in equal measure. Today was no different.
We rehearsed all the kicks, punches, blocks and combinations as required by the kyu grading syllabus and ran through all the Heian katas. If the word “rehearsed” sounds a little gentle, it’s misleading. Pervading the session was a very intense attitude, palpable to everyone in the dojo – and probably everyone in the vicinity of it!
18 members trained in the session; Alex; Sam; Jonathan Cobb; Luke Cobb; James Gordon; George Coates; Jonathan Osborne; Paul Osborne; Frank Dennis; Miguel Dennis; Bob Dainty; Becky Cassapi; Steve Cassapi; Gregory Mills; Anthony Mills; Ryan Skilton; Rachel Tyler; Caroline Todd.
