On Sunday 11th July 2010 Sensei Harford 7th Dan came to York Karate's Hombu Dojo for the first time since it was opened in March this year. He was very impressed with our dojo and is looking forward to his return later in the year.
The day started with a special training session for black belts and 1st kyu's with Sensei Harford teaching very fine and intricate details of techniques to which was very insightful and was enjoyed by all.
As the day progressed the teaching of each different groups went on with everyone enjoying the training methods demonstrated by Sensei Harford.
With 98 students grading and all progressing to their next grade the overall attitude and abilities shown by the students was fantastic and all instructors were very pleased and proud of the results.
A special mention must go to our volunteers, Maria Coatsworth and Sarah McCreaner for their hard work stood all day making and selling tea and coffee, thank you both very much.
Keep up the hard work everyone.
