On 18 May, the Spring Washinkai Gasshuku was held in Javea, Spain, hosted by Sensei Geovanny Salazar Sanchez, 5th Dan, our Spanish Chief Instructor.

The first session was held on Thursday evening for both junior and senior grades.  This was followed by a senior grades session only.  Many senior graded students had flown over from the UK to attend this Gasshuku.

A great course with Shihan Thompson covering two advanced Kata, history, application and practice! 

Many thanks to those who travelled from Kent and across London to train, learn and support the Dojo. — at The Canons, Mitcham

The last visit to see Dave Martin, the Chief Instructor of our clubs in Northern Ireland, was in 2018.  A visit had been planned for 2019 but due to 'Flybe' going into administration, the flight was cancelled.  Then in 2020, COVID 19 hit the world and cancelled all travel.

Covid had a serious effect on our clubs in Northern Ireland, but members are slowly returning. However, Dave Martin, 7th Dan and his wife Michele, 6th Dan, have been greatly assisted by Brendan O'Neill who runs the Omagh Club.

Brendan successfully passed his 5th Dan grading on the 12th May.
