Fun Activities? yes indeed very fun and exhausting...but enough with the adjectives!
Ok so lets break it down...
Shian Nikki Pillay has been down from Durban for the week. Who is he? you may ask...well he is a 7th dan Inoue-Ha Shito-ryu Karateka. He has visited Japan numerous times and trained with Hayashi himself (the founder of my style) aswell as other countries including Botswana, India and many more where he has really "expanded his horizon" (If i may use that incredibly over-used saying)
Anyways, throughout this week I have been training with him everyday while going back to basics. I must say, it has been extremely eye-opening! It is so enjoyable to be learning from someone with so much knowledge.
As well as training with this Shian (Higher than a sensei), myself and a few other people have been grading. This is when he observes our level and hopefully advances us to the next level. I will hear the results in a few weeks! So cross your fingers for me!
Here are some of the other students who were grading with me.
Tomorrow we will be attending a friendly tournament in Shian Nikki's honour!
Will let you know how that goes!
Until then have a great day!
