Last week five of us went to Leysin in Switzerland for a Special Training. We thoroughly enjoyed the Swiss spirit, great company and beautiful surroundings. To top it off, we didn't leave empty handed: Tiemen got his Shodan and Edward left as a Nidan! Congratulations to both. Many thanks to SSK - Suisse Shotokan Karaté for organizing the special Training, and to Donato LaRocca and Carmen Sutter for leading the practices!
