We have just completed the first day. It is really nice to see friends laughing and enjoying time together.
The usual meeting place is The Stoke Pub on Stoke Road. There is a high probability that you will find other people from the course there towards the latter part of the evening.
Hope to see more of you over the weekend.
Updated licence application and renewal forms are now available on the www.wadoacademy.com
Also check the 2011 yearplan for events. This document will be updated as required and you will see the highlighted changes in a different colour.
See you all in Guildford for the Winter Course.
If in doubt, there will always be a gathering at the Premier Inn straight after training. At night you will usually find someone in The Stoke Pub.
Maya has informed me that from the 1st April 2011, the membership and renewal prices will increase unfortunately. The new prices are £25 for adults and £17 for juniors (15 years and below).
Any application forms or renewals received after 1st April 2011 will be subject to the new rate.
At the New Year training course today Shiomitsu Sensei has promoted Arthur Meek to 7th dan.
Nicky Hawker, Neil Richardson and Dr. Graham Hopkins have also been promoted to 5th dan.
A big congratulations to all. (Apologies to Nicky, who I originally missed off)
Maya is asking that people should register as soon as possible, by the latest 28th March 2011 so that food for the buffet can be ordered in advance.
You can register by email, fax or post.
This course is ONLY for Wado Academy dan grades.
We know the Christmas break is just around the corner so before you settle down to your mulled wine, minced pies and turkey dinner (reindeer for those in Norway/Sweden 🙂 ) remember that the first training session with Shiomitsu Sensei is on Saturday 8th January, 2011.

Well done to Massimo Conti and his organising committee of this year’s Wado Academy European Championships held in Rome, Italy. It was a great day’s event with lots of exciting action and fantastic atmosphere.
The 2012 European Championships will be held in Portugal. See you all in lovely Lisbon.

Whilst I am sorting the rest of the web site, let me post something to keep you going.
This image comes from another web site where Shiomitsu Sensei drew all the connections and facets that make up Wado Ryu.

As you can see, many different things forming the foundations of Wado Ryu Karate Do.
