As always, instruction was top notch, and was delivered by Kancho Bernard Kreton, 9th Dan, as well as being supported by the associations most senior grades, from countries including England, Scotland, Wales, Thailand, and Australia!
The week focussed on stancework, and the introduction of the new judo elements of the syllabus.
At the end of the week, was the grading, which as always was tough and emotional!.
Notable grades achieved and awarded include:
Dai Shihan John Wilson (England Chief Instructor) - 7th Dan
Sensei's Simon and Sarah (Northiam, Tenterden and Cranbrook) - 3rd Dan
Sempai Clare (Rye) - 2nd Dan
Sempai's Barry (Ashford), Oliver (Denmark), and Ollie (Eastbourne & Hailsham)- 1st Dan.
There were also many others, and it was fantastic to be a part of!
Congratulations to all who took part!
Following the camp, the Australian members who had travelled over 13,000miles to train blessed the Sevenoaks club with their presence the following Monday. Thanks to all of them for coming and joining in the training, we look forward to seeing you all again!
Keep up the training!
