Summer Camp in Würzburg

June 24 to 25, 2006

This is only a short description of our annual Gasshuku. Despite our EJF Jodo Seminar in July that takes also place in Würzburg about twenty people came to participate in our 9th Gasshuku together with Michel and Coco. As usual, we started at 6 o’clock in the morning (which is not the best time for some people) and did Kihon. And we also repeated a lot of uchi komi with Ken because this is something most people had already forgotten.

In the following, the participants were split into several groups according to their skill and everybody practiced the techniques he/she knew already. Michel and Coco were quite busy to give advices and to correct. On Sunday, everybody had the chance to learn also a new Kata.

Thanks to all participants (we also had Zdanek Dvorak from the Czech Republic) who made this Gasshuku a success and I hope I will see most of them, if not all, in Würzburg again not only next year, but also in July this year for the EJF Gasshuku. And also thanks to Michel and Coco who - as usual - did a fine job.
