A report by Peter Hill

The fourth national Wado Academy squad training of the year took place on Sunday 11th September at Sensei Arthur Meek’s full time dojo in Bridgwater, Somerset. Nearly thirty Wado Academy members attended including some young members attending for the first but hopefully not the last time!

Just a few from the course.
