A new year, a deep tatami cleaning! After the first full class of the new year the Godokan students took to the mats and mopped up a year's worth of blood sweat and tears.
Happy New Year!

Thank you to everyone that joined us for the Godokan Weekend Intensive! 11 hours of training and a lot of fun!
