Aikido Yuishinkai Sydney has been asked by Michael Williams Sensei to conduct a grading for Peter Kelly Sensei to the rank of 3rd dan.

 

Those of you who've been to Byron for the national seminar in the last few years might know him as "Big Pete" from Tasmania, the big, boofy, bald bloke with the fantastic ukemi who everyone likes to test their technique on. 

 

Peter decided to follow Maruyama Sensei after meeting him three or four years ago and opened a Yuishinkai dojo in Hobart last year. He will be joining class and training extra sessions with me between Saturday 19 and Saturday 26 Februray.

 

Anyone interested in joining in extra training sessions that week can let me know and I'll keep you informed of where and when training will take place.

 

The grading will be held in the second session of the February intensive on Saturday, February 26.

 

For beginners, this is a great opportunity to watch a sandan grading without having to travel to Byron. For graded students, we need at least five ukes. I want you to let me know if you will be attending that session and if you are willing to take part in the grading.

 

best regards
