The first session of the summer practices at Welsh Institute of Sport, Sophia Gardens, will be Thurs 23 July. We are in the basketball court, 1930-2100hrs. Our last session will be Thurs 3 Sept.

We return to Bishop of Llandaff Tues 8 Sept, when Matsumoto Sensei will be visiting us for the last time. The idea is to have a quick keiko that evening, then off for a chinese meal in Llandaff.

Thought I would cheer you all up with above photograph, the horse is worth more than the dolt sitting on it (:-> Yours truly off to Japan in two hours...banzai, banzai, banzai!!! or words to that effect.

Matsumoto sensei will be unable to visit us in July when we move to Sophia Gardens, because his Thurs are booked up. We had a great practice last night, Matsumoto sensei gave us some great insights into Kata philosophy. I enjoyed it greatly.
Our intention, as a club, is to have a 1hr keiko on the 8 Sept (I will promise to keep Shaun to his word this time(:-> ), followed by a nice chinese meal in Llandaff. There will also be a simple presentation to express our thanks for all his sterling work with us. I have certainly enjoyed having such a great teacher visit our club so often this last year.
