On Saturday 3 October, a one day course was held at the Washinkai Dover Club, hosted by Peter Saunders, 3rd Dan. Dover Club location is at the Guston C of E Primary School, which is where Peter works and he is the Instructor of the karate club. Washinkai Chief Instructor, Chris Thompson 9th Dan took the course which was geared for all the senior grades who are members of Washinkai Kent.
On Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2020, the first two day course for Washinkai students took place at the Waterlooville Community Centre, Hampshire.
It was an opportunity for all those students to take their Dan gradings who were unable to grade in the summer due to Covid-19.
Clubs with instructors attended from London, Surrey, Hampshire and Kent. Numbers attending had to be restricted due to ‘social distancing’. However, priority was given to students who were grading and their instructors.
