White Pyjama Tour stop six - Smoothflo, Scarborough
A mixture of BBJ and judo people here by the seaside, where I was invited to do a three hour seminar on shime waza.
A highly enjoyable course, where I shared the pain (and love) equally across the group. BBJ people in particular liked my demonstration of ryote jimi, against what they call stacking. Whatever 😀
The course was nicely rounded off by a curry and a blether.
Thanks to Gareth England for in the invite.

White Pyjama Tour second stop.
NORTHBROOK KYU SHIN KAI, SE London.
I was a member of this club when I returned to judo in mid-ninties. Run originally by Albert Currier, who I trained with under the legendary Charlie Clarke. Albert's son took over and the session I attended was run by Aaron, a former pupil of Brian Jacks.
The club ethos remains the same. Whatever level, you are welcome. They all care for each other, notable in that whenever a big throw occured you could hear tori instantly say "you good?"
Hopefully my contribution on real time judp was well received.
A typically diverse South East London Club, we decamped to the pub: an Amercan, a Catalan, a Sikh, English and mixed race: Home.
Day one of sensei's tour: Sheffield Aikido Club.
This is a grade one aikido club, where i reinforced very practical and transferable skills, training with some great people: notably humanitarian anti-racists.
