SAUK Local Course - Fakenham

Another excellent local SAUK course hosted by the guys at Fakenham.

A special thanks to George for teaching a useful and thoughtful course. No fancy show-off techniques, just good, solid basics and things to make us think and take away to work on in our own dojos.

This is one of the really good things about these SAUK courses. There's no requirement to show off fancy stuff but there is time to consolidate basic understanding of aiki and to come together and work as a group, meet old friends and remind yourself that you're not alone in your confusion.

Robert (from Fakenham) had the idea of borrowing some of our jig-saw linked mats to use as a frame to hold the sports hall's vinyl mats in place. While this wasn't perfect, it was definitely an improvement. Unfortunately my weekend time and access to transport was fully booked with guests coming to dinner, Mairi visiting her mother etc. so I had to delegate some of the students (Phil, Nigel and Spencer) to collect, return and generally nursemaid the mats. Thanks guys.

I've put a few photos up on Photobox here.
