A lot of people from our club attended, and the course itself had a very good turnout with over 60 people.

Before Kate dropped Mikey!


Sakagami Sensei looks on... in despair?

As usual with these events, the students were put through their paces by Aiwakai' top instructors.


Sensei Lynne, and Sensei Michael

Everyone worked hard on the Sensei' teachings, all of which is necessary for those wanting to reach black belt...


Some of the Darlington lot enjoy a bit of a tussle...

...though, as you can see, it wasn't all work!
