Outdoor Self Defence & Social
A very valuable lesson and well attended, thanks to those who supported the class. Over the coming months we will be working on the defence drills you saw. Good to see the social well attended, for a select few I think things went on until around 2.00am.

I have had some very positive feedback from the BAB national course on the standard we displayed. The quality of Shudokan Aikido is indeed world class and I for one am very proud of what we have achieved and very happy with the standards our students display.

Black Belt Testing
Scheduled for Sat 27th of November, it will be a privilege to watch these students demonstrate all their hard work and focus over the past few years. If you watch a Black Belt (Shodan) grading, you are literally watching someone achieve a life dream. It’s an event that can inspire you to achieve your own, no matter what that may be.
If you’re not sure what your dreams are, it’s a great time to think about it as we come up to the New Year. Instead of just “giving up” something like smoking or sugar in your tea for example, this year why not be more proactive? What do you hope for? What do you really want out of life? How and what will you do to achieve it?
People don’t get black belts by “giving up”. They get them through “getting up” after a fall and “rising up” to any challenge. This is the spirit of the black belt, and one which all our hopes and expectations could benefit from if we choose to not only start, but also finish the coming New Year with it.
