Nab Cottage, Rydal, Ambleside, Cumbria, October 2009
On the 16th-18th October, Nab Cottage owners Tim and Liz Melling were the perfect hosts, meeting all our needs from accommodation, breakfast, luch, dinner and refreshments throughout the day. Fifteen Dan grades from 1st Dan to 5th Dan (plus two junior Kyu grades), were training inside and out from 10am each day. Sensie Shaun Unsworth (5th Dan) led the course with Shihan Alf Burgoyne (7th Dan), overseeing that all went well.
The course aimed to improve and develop the teaching and karate skills of all those who attended. The weekend was a great success and the scene is set for 2010 when the Dan grade gashuku will take place.
We would like to thank Mike Greaves for supporting the weekend and for bringing some of his senior grades to train alongside us.
