\"\"<\/a>Last week I was at the UKA<\/a> Summer Camp again. And hat wrist grabby, knee sorey, skirt wearing fun it was \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Teaching was lead by Sugawara Shihan<\/a> from Tokyo Hombu Dojo, Shihan Jones<\/a> Principal of the UKA and the other UKA Shidoin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Highlights for me this year included:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Seeing old friends like Polish Pete and making news ones from Serbia, Greece and France<\/p>\n

Catching Mr Sugwara doing his bokken practice at 6.30 am on a misty field<\/p>\n

Being knocked semi-conscious by Philip Smith and having a minor hernia the day before (ah, I miss my dojo rat days!) <\/p>\n

Morning weapons practice with Peter Brady<\/p>\n

Sharing my “applied aiki” AE\/ Holistics work in the evenings <\/p>\n

Being presented my shodan certificate from Hombu along with friend Daniel North (pictured)<\/p>\n

I\"\"<\/a> decided to camp this time around which was wet and uncomfortable after 6 hrs of training a day, but also fun – thanks Andy. As normal the social life was good too, with the warm family atmosphere that Shihan William Smith <\/a>established still going strong.<\/p>\n
