Unfortunately we were unable to run the weapons group, but Tom Barnes demonstrated his own Nunchuka Kata which looked very impressive.

The weapons group will be run as a seperate event at a date to be set. If you are interested please watch the noticeboard for further details.

There is an AIWa Kata Competition on the 3rd November at Tanbridge School, if you are interested please speak to Sensei Phil as soon as possible.
