This Thursday (9th July 2009) will be the final day with Aragane Sensei as he will shortly be leaving for Japan.

Grading on Saturday went very well with a high standard generally.

Its rumored that grading may be on February the 14th or on the following week on the 21st. It’s only a rumor with no confirmed date yet.

On another note I received an email from Dr Bryan Mac Donald of DCU Karate today. He passed on a leaflet for a training day in Dublin with Kawaosoe Sensei (8th Dan). This is an Irish Shotokan Institute event. If you are interested the leaflet is available to download here: http://www.glenviewkarate.com/media/KawasoeDublin09.pdf

Today Sensei Dave Kerr forwarded on some photographs - and they are up.  You can view them on the photographs page on the menu (or you can click here).  Hopefully there will be more photographs available and up soon.
