Saitama club adult tests 7/7

On Sunday, July the 7th two people tested during the Aikido Meiryukan Saitama adult class.

The 10th kyu test was solid. We have been working hard on the 6 basic movements for over 4 months. Great focus, especially considering this heat.

The 4th kyu test was good as well. Most of the techniques were learnt years ago in the kids class, so no problem there. The kihon dosa with a partner was a first, but both the shite and uke roles were done well. 
 

Still a few more weeks of testing to go

New faces and visitors at Sunday`s Aikido Meiryukan Saitama club. 

Although our big joint test day is finished, we still have the various club summer tests throughout July. Saitama is the first on the list, with their grading on Sunday, July 7th.

The Urayasu 3rd kyu and above tests will be held on Saturday, the 20th and Sunday July the 21st. Spectators welcome!
