Capping our 20th Anniversary celebrations, and despite the very unfortunate loss of Yamada Shihan, the seminar proved to be truly amazing, reminding us not only of the great styles of Konigsberg Shihan and Mehter Sensei, and our old friend Brian Mizerak, but also introducing us to the powerful style of Posluns Sensei. Thankyou to all who instructed and attended for making this a wonderful event.
