Training with Bakkies Sensei in Brussels

26/4/2023

On Friday 21st April a few members of the club, joined by Sensei Dave Amber, caught the Eurostar out of St Pancras, destination Brussels. We were met at Gare du Midi by Isobelle, one of our friends from the Brussels Goju Ryu club. We were taken to the gymnasium in Auderghem, which would be our dojo for the weekend. We were the first students to arrive, but when we were called to line up, we had been joined by over 100 other students. Our instructor for the weekend was Bakkies Sensei, a 9th dan Goju Ryu master from South Africa.
The focus of the weekend was on getting the basics right, detail of junbi undo and lots of kihon, together with footwork. Everyone put their best into the training and the atmosphere was great. Our hosts were incredible, ensuring that we were transported between the dojo and our accommodation, and to the sayonara party and back. Many thanks to Sensei Marc and Els for organising another first class gasshuku and to their wonderful club members. Thanks to Sensei Patrick for always extending such a warm welcome, and sharing his superb beer! Last but not least, our deepest gratitude to Bakkies Sensei for his insightful teaching, motivation and great sense of humour.
