From Russia with Love

This is the second visit from the Moscow contingent lead by Sensei Pavel Klopov 5th Dan IOGKF to the Honbu Dojo in Elephant and Castle in London, they arrived on Wednesday and after a good night sleep they started training the next day and then on the w/end they trained Saturday and Sunday for 8 hours, the training would be dominated by Iri – Kumi and the Methodologies.

However besides the prospects of training it was an opportunity to visit the site of England, their first choice was the site of Stonehenge which as an historical background from 3500 BC, to add to this amazing site is that a member of my family was a member of the Druid Sect, which it was never revealed until his death where an open documentation was discovered.

It was such wonderful weather with blue skies and temperatures in the 30’s to match and the opportunity to have a BBQ after training where all appetites were fulfilled, which would replenish the desire for more sightseeing for the Russian contingent.

I look forward to more groups from different countries to come and stay for Training and Sightseeing in the Honbu Dojo in London all will be welcome anytime.
