On Sunday 19th October 2025, head coach Takayama Sensei ran a shinpan seminar for our Dan members, teaching them and giving useful guidance on correct shinpan behaviour and mindset. Some of our kyu players helped demonstrate tricky situations, and everyone learned a lot!
The following weekend on Sunday 26th October, our club held a friendly internal tournament for our 6th kyu – 2nd dan players, with our dan members putting their new knowledge to use as shinpans! It was a fun, albeit long day, and a nice event as we near the end of the year – we saw lots of intense shiai and high energy! Well done to everyone who participated, volunteered, and shinpan’d. Thank you again to our coaches Takayama Sensei and Nakano Sensei for organising and overseeing the event.
