Thank you to all the students who attended this weekend’s New Year Course with Sensei Aragane.
This was the first time that Hanshi Asano’s students had come together to train since his passing last month. A two-minute silence was held before training began, a fitting way for everyone to pay their respects and take a moment to reflect on him and the memories they shared and reflect on his life and legacy 
Sensei Aragane was first invited to the UK by Asano Hanshi in the 1980s, assisting at national seminars and travelling around clubs to teach alongside him. His warm, friendly, and approachable demeanour has always made him a popular instructor in the UK, and that remains true to this day.
Thank you to everyone who attended, whether you travelled from near or far. We truly appreciate the continued effort and dedication you show.
We look forward to seeing you all again soon
