Last keiko of 2008

Venue: Saffron Restaurant

Aikidamashii had its last training session on 30th December 2008 which was graced by Zainuddin sensei. Sensei and his family were on their way back to Kota Kinabalu from a holiday in Kuching as well as upgrading in Bintulu and stopped over in Brunei for 2 nights so an opportunity to train with sensei must not be missed! The training session was informed through dojo representatives so that everyone will get a chance to train with sensei.

During the session sensei trained with us as nage as well as uke. Kokyu exercises were done followed by stretching exercises and technique training. Sensei trained hard with us and made sure that we were pushed to our limits when training as the nage. One thing though...sensei is definitely fitter than most of us!

Apart from training most time was spent with sensei sharing and exchanging thoughts on aikido and training. A most wonderful and delicious New Year's Eve barbeque dinner was hosted by Mr Ahmad Isa and his wife Mdm Faridah at their residence as we reflect on the year that has passed and the events for the year that is to come.

We hope to see more of sensei as well as the united and steady development of aikido in Brunei in 2009 and years to come.
