The last visit to see Dave Martin, the Chief Instructor of our clubs in Northern Ireland, was in 2018. A visit had been planned for 2019 but due to 'Flybe' going into administration, the flight was cancelled. Then in 2020, COVID 19 hit the world and cancelled all travel.
Covid had a serious effect on our clubs in Northern Ireland, but members are slowly returning. However, Dave Martin, 7th Dan and his wife Michele, 6th Dan, have been greatly assisted by Brendan O'Neill who runs the Omagh Club.
Brendan successfully passed his 5th Dan grading on the 12th May.
On Saturday 29th April a one day course was held at Lydd Community Hall, hosted by Chris Wateridge 6th Dan.
A lovely Spring day greeted all participants for the course. Many techniques were covered over the three hours.
Shihan Chris Thompson took the course and tried to cover as much kihon, kata and kumite as possible for all grades, from orange belt to senior Dan level.
As usual the course finished too quickly, however everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
