JAPAN KARATE TRIP - Part 4 - Osaka - Then it was on to Osaka so that I could train with Ryuichi Furukawa Sensei and his son Shinnosuke. I watched and joined in a bit with the kids classes from 6pm then trained with the adults 9-11pm so it was quite a night! A huge thank you to the whole club for welcoming me and of course particularly Ryuichi and Shinnosuke for a fantastic night of training. I got a lot out of it.

JAPAN KARATE TRIP - Part 3 - Kyoto - Once Kathy joined me in Shizuoka we headed on to Kyoto for some sightseeing. A bit of a break from training to see some incredible shrines and temples, a hike up Mount Inari and a fantastic ghost tour of the bamboo forest!

JAPAN KARATE TRIP - Part 2 - Shizuoka - I moved on from Tokyo to stay with Haru Hirota Sensei and his wife Yuki. I got to train at his own dojo and visit with the High School squad that he trains jointly with another Haru Sensei! And then I was allowed to join his Shizuoka team and take part in a tournament in the city. I was unfortunately drawn against the eventual winner in the first round, who was excellent. I had a fantastic experience that will live long in my memory and I am hugely grateful to Haru, Yuki and all his students for hosting me and making me feel so welcome!

JAPAN KARATE TRIP - Part 1 - Tokyo. I had a great first week in the capital with a bit of sightseeing and training with both Shimura Sensei and Okumachi Sensei. Travel out to Yokohama got interesting when I couldn't work out the buses and so yomped through an absolute deluge. But the training with Okumachi was well worth it. Training and then dinner out with Shimura sensei and some of the senior students in Shibuya was fantastic, incredibly detailed and very kind and welcoming. And I managed to find Godzilla too, so not a bad start to the trip!

Down to Lyme Regis for the Autumn course. Be rude not pay a visit to the Nags Head. Walton traditions die hard.

Dear Members & Senseis. This year at Lyme Regis I have one fleece blanket which will be raffled to all who pre book the course this year. The raffle is free but you do have to pre book online to be entered for free.

Members who turn up on the day are welcome to enter the draw for the cost of £1 per number. Members who pre booked will be given one number for free but you are welcome to purchase more on the day for the cost of £1 per number.

We will do the raffle on Sunday. You will be allocated a number based on when you book. So if you were the first person to pre book you will be allocated number 1 and so on.

We will do the draw on Sunday using a random number generator. If you are only attending on Saturday and your number is the winner we will get the blanket to you.
