We were very pleased to have Shane Riley Shihan, head or our parent association White Rose Aikikai, come up to teach our class last Friday night. Sensei was pleased to teach some basics techniques and movements to the beginner students who've joined this term that were in attendance, as well as giving existing students new ideas, views and techniques. He enjoyed the spirit of the dojo during the training and the questions in the pub afterwards.

We hope he will visit us again in the new year. He is an extremely experienced Sensei, with over 50 years experience of aikido.
