Hassou Aikido has been founded by Eoin Kerrigan and Phil Eyers.
Training is every wednesday, from 7:30 to 9:30 pm, and is open to anyone over the age of 16.
The venue is the “Lad’s Club” in Saltwood (Rectory Lane, Saltwood, Hythe, CT21 4PZ )
The first session is free, and any subsequent ones are £5.
A beginners course will start in November 2010, but everybody is welcome and encouraged to come.
Well done to Eoin after his first class at the Saltwood dojo.
We went through freeplay practice with a big emphasis on proper kamae, kuzushi and timing.
It was a fun evening all round lead by an enthusiastic teacher, and the feedback was very positive.
This Saturday Neil Saunders Sensei took the class for the afternoon at Genryukan dojo.
Training covered;
Kamae
Nikkajo
Sankajo
Shomen uchi ikkajo osae ichi
kotegaeshi
shihonage
iriminage
We had a good turnout, and a thoroughly enjoyable session was had by all. I think Jon especially enjoyed himself 😉
Photos from the session can be seen in the gallery.
Our thanks go to Neil Saunders, Dave Clarke, Mark Atkinson, Rob Cole and Jimmy Tan for coming down for the day. We’ll see you all soon at the Mustard Sensei seminar.
