Oct 16-17 was the return of the annual CNF Seminar! It was incredible to have so many clubs gather and to practice safely with everyone in person again.

This year’s seminar focused on solidifying fundamentals, taking bogu practice to the next level, learning to teach, and shinpan training. We hope that everyone found some points to reflect on and take back to home dojos!

Thank you very much to the instructors for all the sessions:

• Kaori Kubo (5dan)
• Marija Landekic (4dan)
• Tomas Almonte (3dan)
• Simon Bruins (3dan)
• Mary-Kate Proud (3dan)
• Lutan Liu (2dan) and Alan McDougall (2dan)

Keep an eye out for a future post on the Regional Taikai results!
