Kumite-Gata Fundamentals Course.
Fantastic Response at the Kumite-Gata Fundamentals Course at the Momiji Dojo on the 16th of February 2015. Twenty-seven in attendance to the course on the deeper Wado principles and their relationship with Wado’s Kumite-Gata and various Kihon-Gumite. Again, highlighting that all levels can attend many of these advanced courses, as we had 9th Kyū and numerous advanced Yūdansha in attendance. |
