All Zoom lessons are now completed. Please contact your Club Instructor to see when your own club is restarting classes. See you in the Dojo!

How proud I am of the work that Geovanny Sanchez Salazar, 4th Dan, our Washinkai Chief Instructor in Spain, has been doing on line for his students during the lockdown. Javea and Benitachell students from 8th kyu to Dan grades are benefiting from his tuition. Keep up the good work!

A note from Shihan Chris Thompson:

I hope everybody is keeping well during this lockdown and making sure you’re staying safe!

Everyone in our international organisation has been affected by the Corona virus, but all clubs have made efforts to keep their students active whilst the dojos remain closed.

I would like to thank the following Washinkai Instructors for starting online classes:

Elliot Morton, 3rd Dan, Spain, for all young students in the Javea clubs.

The coronavirus was a major factor in this year’s championships, having less competitors than normal.  Unfortunately, Spain Washinkai did not send students over this year and some of our officials were either injured or off due to illness.

However, it didn’t spoil the great atmosphere that was created by the students who did compete.  It turned out to be a good day with a lot of happy students receiving medals for their hard work.
