We announced a couple of weeks back that we would be having a "Bring a friend" training night at the dojo. Not sure what to expect and not getting much feedback from the students left us a little unsure as what to expect on the night. Our doubts were proven unfounded as we had a great turnout with everyone doing there best to bring a friend. In some cases not just one, but two or three friends.
The new arrivals threw themselves into training with great spirit and enthusiasm. Being young and excited was a great advantage as no one felt embarresed or shy as they were all in the same boat trying their hardest to impress their friends. We took them through basic kihon and also threw in a karate-based game or two to keep the energy and noise levels up. I think all the regulars would agree that the evening was a welcome change from day to day training and we even managed to gain a couple of new students from the night. Congratulations to all involved. We look forward to holding another "Bring a Friend Night" in the next few months, judging by this event it should be a blast.
