Day five was all about celebrating what students had learned over the week culminating in a grading ceremony (which they all passed!) for their first grade and belt. We looked at kicking techniques, pad work drills and learned more about feudal Japan and the weaponry used by the ninja and samurai. We also talked about the seven values of the organisation - Family (kazoku), Health (kenko), Respect (sonkei), Joy (yorokobi), Honesty (shojiki), Communication (tsushin) and Heart/Mind/Spirit (kokoro) before handing our our amazing bags to all participants to keep them training filled with water bottles, t-shirts, health snacks, training guidance, certificates and their belt. Truly amazing week.
