On Saturday 4th March i was invited to the Ronin Judo Club in Morpeth as a guest instructor, there were two sessions 1.30 / 2.30 for the younger juniors and 2.30 / 3.30 for the seniors and older juniors, all of the judoka were very attentive and keen to learn, with some very promising youngsters we covered Tachiwaza, Shimewaza and Kansetsuwaza, but the two hours were soon sadly over, my thanks to Juneille and John for there invitation and to Andy for being my uke throughout the day.
