Open Invitation from Nagamitsu Dojo

13th -15th April 2007

There will be a party from Ireland visiting Birmingham and Nagamitsu dojo are their hosts for the weekend
This visit coincides with the refereeing seminar and we intend to host a taikai workshop and jigeiko, team and individual taikai to run alongside the seminar. This should have several opportunities for all attendees.
1, the chance for referees to hone their skills in a friendly atmosphere but with the advantage of real time shiai.
2, with the European championships in Portugal, the GB team have expressed an interest to enter a team and to compete in the individual competition on Sunday.
3, the opportunity to compete against some of the UK and Irelands finest shiai people and help in their preparations for the Euro championships.
