"Old Ironsides" the nickname of Oliver Cromwell (Wiki) Recently I conducted training in the South of England, at the invitation of Sensei Simon Budden 5 th Dan IOGKF. He lives and teaches in Winchester which has some of the finest Colleges, Public and Private Schools in the country, these include Winchester College, St Swithuns, Bedales and Southampton University. I prefer to make the training interesting and lighthearted to increase the student's motivation. Physical training is important to young people to help them isolate and cope with their ever demanding research and studying of their preferred subjects. Most of the students after graduating move and attend University in London which is great because they can continue their training at the Honbu Dojo. Hundreds of years ago Winchester was the Capital of England checkout this link you might want to visit and experience some of England 's history and traditions. May I take this opportunity to thank Sensei Simon for his support. George Andrews |
