Well done!!!!

Well done to all 14 - WAKA Students who graded on Saturday during Soke's seminar. You make us proud and keep it up!

Soke’s seminar – First impressions

Keywords: Had fun, Learnt a lot, Made some new friends, Meet old friends, Supported my organisation, Strengthened relationship  with SCI international.

I find that this was really a good seminar; there was positive energy both from the donors and the receivers, thus making the occasion special. From an organisation point of view it was well organised, everyone knew what it had to be done and was done well and in the required time frames.  A big well done goes to the Kancho’s team, the organisers who put a lot of time to organise, contact, make the facility up to needs and support in the activities that where required. All in all this shows that we are a stable, well organised, mature organisation having the required knowledge to do things the right way.

Support was great, quite a good number turned up for the grading and for the sessions on Saturday and Sunday. Big thanks goes to all students who attended the seminar and especially to all SCI instructors for being there  and  getting students. Appreciation goes especially to all those instructors that although they had family commitments they turned up and supported the event at the best they could. Thanks guy’s this is what it makes us special, keep it up!

With regards to the training level - I think it was superb both from Soke and his team and from the students. In many occasions I heard the UK Masters/ instructors complimenting students for their level and technique. Well done again Students and Maltese Kancho /Instructors who have built up such a level of proficiency.  

From a technical point of view we learnt new stuff but above all we learnt new ways on how to look and apply things that we already knew. In my opinion this is one factor that each martial artist must strive to follow, that of studying and internalising what s/he know, by truly understanding (Feeling) how techniques are done in the right way.

Final note -  thanks for being hereJ
