Before you all tuck into your Xmas dinner and drink to your heart's content remember that there is the New Year's training session on the first weekend of January!

Wado Ryu Karate Do Academy course: 

Saturday 5th January, 2008.

Kings College Sports Hall, Woodhayes Road, Wimbledon, London SW19 4TT.

12pm to 2pm, £24 for training and buffet. 

The Home Office has released further information on their decision about banning samurai swords.

Best to read the Official Article, than me trying to decipher and regurgitate.

Let's hope the exemptions will safeguard martial arts study.

In the absence of much else going on here are some videos from YouTube to while away your time.
