Today we came to the dojo and were surprised to see a new lock on the door. Not being able to enter the hall we decided to do outdoor practice on the beach. However the high tide did not permit us to practise at our regular spot, so we had no option except the ground near the harbour where the old nightclub was located. We covered the following techniques: Ken no Kamae Suburi 1 Suburi 2 Suburi 3 Suburi 4 Suburi 5 Suburi 6 Suburi 7 Zengogiri Suburi 1 Zengogiri Suburi 2 Zengogiri Suburi 3 Zengogiri Suburi 4 Zengogiri Suburi 5 Zengogiri Suburi 6 Zengogiri Suburi 7 Migi Awase Hidari Awase
