Training Update

Well, we are already six sessions into the new year, so I’d thought a little update was in order.

The Christmas grading will be held in the first week of December as usual BUT there is a requirement to attend 16 session to become eligible to grade (kyu grades only).

Sounds daunting but it’s much easier this year to achieve the minimum as there are 31 training sessions this term alone – that’s almost 40% more than we managed to make available last year and they are all within 10 minutes walk of Founders too!

You will soon be able to order your training GI through the Committee so watch out for the announcement coming in the next few weeks and there is also the opportunity to buy your own training weapons for later in the year.

Seminar arrangements are underway and Budo Bash 12 is starting to take shape, confirmation of the date is expected soon as are the costs but please speak to the Committee about travel arrangements as we usually take a mini bus to Swindon.

Questions, nobody ever asks a question! How many of you know that we are actually studying 9 schools of which only 3 are ninjutsu based? Do you all know what the grading structure is or why girls wear red belts? Remember if you don’t ask then we won’t tell.
