Some Pix from the Month-end Training May 2007

May 2007 - Month-end class

The last weekend in May saw students from all the Aikido clubs in Cape Town converge on UCT for the bi-monthly joint training session. 3 training sessions were held, led respectively by Sensei Bruce Alleman (Fish Hoek dojo), Sensei Elroy Goliath (Paarl dojo) and Sensei Ghalib Galant (UCT).
Nearly 4 hours of training was then followed by a grading for students from all of the dojos.

Congratulations to our fellow UCT aikidoists who all passed their 6th kyu gradings:

• Apurva Kumar,
  
• Barbara Herndler,
  
• Hermann Vivier,
  
• Matthew Campbell and
  
• Mark Klein.

April Fool's Day Ramble

A few of us tackled the rather tough trail above Kalk Bay on April 01 ;-) Braving the weather (it was a bright sunshiny day) and the lurking muggers (we only encountered a few fellow hikers who were heading the wrong way), the bunch of intrepid aikidoists from the Club swapped the tatami for the gravel track above Kalk Bay.

A good time was had by all - including brunch at the Brass Bell overlooking the sea. Next time, I hope more of you will join in.. There are still lots of places to discover in and around Cape Town ;-)
