We had a dan grade class on Sunday followed by our general practice as we had some visitors from America over. 3 hours of fun.

Great to be back on the mat after two weeks off. Back to basics is the plan before we head into grading training.

I'd like to wish Derin all the very best with his studies at university in Edinburgh. It has been a pleasure teaching Derin for the last 6 years. He started Aikido at 6 years old in Turkey and moved to Glasgow when he was 12. Moving to a new country and practicing at an adult class couldn't of been easy. Having said that Derin has growing dramatically over the years achieving his black belt in May. He started as a boy and has now grown into a fine young man. Good luck!
