Ishinryu Dragons - 2010 Summer Course

June - The Open Summer Course in Clacton has been an annual event for Ishninryu Karate since 1976. This year a small number of Dragons students attended for he first time. This intensive week of training was certainly an eye-opener for our young students - especially seeing Sensei Lee Smith teaching alongside other top Ishinryu instructors including Ishinryu founder Ticky Donovan O.B.E 9th Dan.

The students enjoyed the week and took the opportunity to compete in both Kumite and Kata. Aden returned with a large trophy to celebrate his first place in Kumite. Awards were also won by Lewis and Thomas. Bobbi, Harmony, Laura, and Lawson also attended. The week was not all hard work and our students enjoyed the fun run as well as the fancy dress party on Wednesday evening.

The Summer Course instructors were very complimentary about our Dagons and their behaviour and hard work during the week. Our hope is that many more Dragons will take the opportunity to train on the 2011 Open Summer Course - Please talk to the club instructors or see Ishinyru.org for booking details.
