Today we had the first of two free try out practice sessions that are held during the school’s “sports” holiday. We had about 25 new kids so it was pretty much a full house. On Thursday it is possible to try again, we hope that many liked the practice and will come back, and of course continue to practice.
Perra sensei lead the kihon (basic practice) with many new kids that tried Shorinji Kempo for the first time.
It was also possible (and is possible again on Thursday) to try out for free for anyone over 13 as well, but we didn’t have the same success with the teenagers and adults. We hope for more interested on Thursday.
On Saturday we handed out the inkajō (允可状 certificate) to our new black belt kenshi.

Once again congratulations to all of them.
