Northern Monkey Seminar!

 HUGE thanks to Mark Watson from Budo Shin Ryu Events for arranging the Northern Monkey seminar at the weekend, located deep in the countryside in Nantwich, a far cry from the polluted streets of London, not a emergency siren to be heard the whole time I was there :)

It was very humbling to have a number of high ranking Dan grades in Jiu Jitsu on there mats from 5th Dan to 7th Dan, the 7th Dan belonging to Sue King, all showing an open mind and ready to learn and get stuck in.

The seminar was split into two, with two hours in the Gi and two hours No Gi and was filled with drills, techniques and shark tanks, with no complaints from everyone.

The seminar went over the allotted four hours, due to a few people arriving late, but that only meant more mat time in the bank and after the seminar, six of us met up in Nantwich town centre for a few beers and a much needed curry after all the hard work in the day time.

I really enjoyed teaching and am looking forward to returning up North again in the future and having more fun and I also taught the attendees a spot of Portuguese :)

Ooos!
