Great seminar with Prof. Rick Clark yesterday, supported by a fantastic turnout by the club. Thanks guys. Saw Rick safely off for his return home this morning, hope you have a good flight Rick. Will try to get some pictures up soon.

Further to me warning about the road closures, here's the latest information.

Important message for anyone attending the seminar on the 19th June. Please be aware that there will be road closures around Caerphilly from 7am to 1pm due to the 10K road race. Please plan your route appropriately and expect delays

Less than a week now to the start of Prof. Clark's 2016 UK tour. Venues from The highlands of Scotland in the north to Exeter in the south and London in the east to Wales in the west. Contact the hosts now to book a place for an enjoyable learning experience

Details of all the upcoming Rick Clark seminars can now be found under the 'Seminar Details' tab of the ADK Wales page

The club has recently moved to new premises and we've taken the opportunity to change its name. The club is now Okuden Shotokan, the web page has been updated to reflect this. The web page has also had a makeover, it's still a work in progress but it gives more functionality to club members. http://okuden-shotokan.club

Last session of the year done. Well done to all the students who passed the grading and received their certificates yesterday. Look out for news of Prof Rick Clark's UK tour in the new year. Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you all.

Unfortunately due to lack of support, Rick Clark will not be visiting the UK this year. We were unable to fill sufficient dates for the tour to proceed. We will try to organise another tour for June 2016. Watch this space :-)

I have had a number of enquiries about Rick's next UK visit. Rick is unfortunately busy this June so we are looking at dates in September. I'll provide an update when we have dates to work with.

Happy new year all. May your training be the best in 2015

May I take this opportunity to wish all my students, friends and fellow martial artists Seasons Greetings, and health and happiness for the coming year.
