Nine students trained under Seitei Jodo nidan Andy Wells sensei Monday night at our dojo, the most we’ve had so far. Overall, we’ve had a dozen different students show up for training (which makes us one of the largest dojo in the nation). We worked on both kihons (the system has 12 kihons, which are done both alone and with a partner, who uses a tachi) as well as kata (again, the system has 12 paired kata, with one student using the jo and the other the tachi). Everyone worked from 7-8 pm and then some stayed for an extra 30 minutes of training. All are welcome to join us. It’s $20 for two classes a month, which are held every other Monday at our dojo (Midlands School of Martial Arts in Lexington). Our next scheduled training session is Nov. 2. Hope to see you.
