Wellington City Seminar : August 2006
The Wellington City club hosted a regional seminar on the 20th August 2006.
The seminar was organised by Jason Yianakis, 3rd Gup.
Attendance
Approximately 30 people attended, with representation from Kingsland (Auckland), Tauranga, Palmerston North, Upper Hutt and Wellington. What stood out in this mix from previous seminars was the diversity of the grades represented - in the past it has been mostly black belts with the odd colour belt. This time the attendees were a balanced mix of junior and senior students and the entire day's training was intense but done so in a friendly and relaxed manner.
