Hi everyone

 

Some of you will remember Mike Amoore who trained with us a few years back in Crows Nest. Mike had done several years of training in NZ with Riai Aikido and then had a break for a few years before he joined us.

 

I was fortunate to train with Mike at Riai when I was in Auckland last year. It's a wonderfully friendly and welcoming dojo and a great experience to train there.

 

I've just heard from Mike that, having started aikido training some 20 years ago, last week he finally graded shodan.

 

Congratulations Mike and best wishes for your future training. We hope to see you in Sydney again one of these years.

 

best regards

 

Andrew
