Last session before Christmas

Last session before Christmas

On 22.12.2017 we had the last training session before Christmas, coupled with exams. Five of our members took the challenge and succeeded on their way to achieving higher grades.

Events like that allow us to see how much progress we make and motivate us to keep training and bettering ourselves. Meanwhile, experienced members practiced Kihon and Jiyu Ippon Kumite applying different timing and distance.

After the session, we all went for a well-deserved Christmas beer. Congratulations to everyone who got their next kyu and keep up the good work.
