We are currently running around like headless chickens trying to get this sorted out and we would love it if as many people as possible could attend.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I hope to see some of you there!

It's a little outside of my neighborhood, but sweet! Great idea.

Thanks for the support Chris! Its just a shame that we live in such an out of the way part of England, if we were in London we would attract more people im sure, but we do the best we can.

Hi Mr. Simpson

We have started a similar practice in Hakodate. We have a Martial Arts Demonstration of the various Japanese arts. (I live in Japan) We have it outside in the old Historic Fort and it is free. I hope to put the video of it on the net sometime soon.

Dude, Mr Simpson is my father , sounds like fun to me. We should have some video clips after the festival, hopefully we will be able to get them up soon after.

Funny you mentioned about a Martial Arts Festival, as my Sensei informed his classes that he has been approached by an organiser of suct an event and asked if he could represent Aikido, which he gladly excepted, but hasn't been given the final date of when the festival is to be held. All I know is it will be late July or early August in Reigate, Surrey.

As mentioned in the beginning thread, all types of Martial Arts are going to attend, the weather should be good so hopefully there will be a good crowd to watch etc.

Sounds like it will be a good day Richard, perhaps you could keep us informed and some of us might be able to attend?

Once my Sensei has more details on the event I will let you all know.

Thanks Richard

Weve finally got the site for the festival up, I like the mission statement:
