While fifth-dan Charlotte Bryant and I have been training with Seitei Jodo nidan Andy Wells since January, last night marked the first “official” class of sensei Wells’ for his jo school, which is called Kashikan Jodo (Hall of Oak). We had eight students (including myself and Charlotte, who are not in the attached photo) come to train. Everyone seemed to enjoy the training and learn from sensei Wells. We worked several of the 12 kihons as well as the first of 12 kata. Sensei Wells’ next training session is scheduled for Aug. 24 at 7 pm, with class running about an hour. If interested, email kashikanjodo@gmail.com – or just show up. We have extra jo and tachi – or bring your own. Look forward to seeing you join us.
Great class. Great art. Great instructors. Every one is helpful and cooperative. We all left our egos at the door. Thanks for this opportunity to learn.
