This course was possibly the most professionally run course I have ever taught on or attended and that is a lot of courses all over the world.

Sensei Ruth Goldman and her helpers worked incredibly hard to make it a fantastic course.
I believe there were 108 juniors on the course and approximately 30 seniors; if the figures are wrong I am sure Sensei John Goldman will correct me (he is so organized).

Judo was taught by Myself and Sensei Keith; With a great session by Sensei  Danny  DA COSTA; Ju Jutsu  by Sensei Tony  Richards and three of his Dan Grades and Body Combat by Mickey (Hard aerobic session to music).

The Highlight of the course for me was the demonstrations from the children to close the course.
So much work was put in, for them to get to the great standard they produced.

To all of you that were not there, you missed out, not just on a great course, but the wonderful weather and scenery of Devon.

Footnote: 
It’s a pity that no one was  present from the B.J.A .  to see how an “outlaw and pirate” organizes a course for all those children and their families, not just for the talented few. All this done without any government hand outs amazing.
