Sheffield First Anniversary Training Weekend

Pelatih Jacqui Moore held an anniversary training weekend 4-6 December, 2009, for Sheffield students and invited guests Lena Horter and Rovero Lilli from Ludwigsberg. (Rovero is a pewaris perguruan (inheritor), and a student of our founder, Suhu Subur, almarhum.)

In Jacqui's own words,

"It was great to end the first year of the group in Sheffield with a small Retreat. We all enjoyed having Lena Horter and Rovero Lilli from Germany with us, it was good for the students here to meet other people and to be challenged in their training with new activities and to train for longer! So there were some aching bodies and plenty of band aid’s around but everyone came back each morning!"

"There were four student’s from the UK, including myself, Graham, James and Ken. The focus for the weekend was getting the basics right, so we worked on our besi and short movements, we worked on the short movements for ambilan (throws), and practiced lots of ambilan."

"It was fantastic to see the confidence of all students to fall and throw. We all gained confidence and closeness with each other, sharing a great weekend and a good experience."
