Bushido Budo Kai Spring Camp 2014

The BBK Spring Camp was held at Woolacombe Bay Holiday Camp in Devon from 3^rd to the 5^th May.

The course enabled participants to receive instruction from some of the best traditional Japanese martial arts coaches in the country.

Judo, Ju-Jitsu, Aikido, Karate, Weapons and a Goshin Jutsu Kata course were all on the agenda.

It was a lively and well attended course with all participants throwing their heart and soul into the training on offer.

Lauren Sole from Yawara Kwai was awarded the prize as the Junior who most represented the spirit of the course. Richard Blackwell from White Horse Budo was awarded the senior recognition.

Ian Llewellin was awarded his 4^th Dan Judo at the end of the course and James Doubleday received a certificate for being awarded his 1^st Dan in Ju-Jitsu earlier in the year.

The course would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the instructors, students and families who attended and supported this fantastic course.

Special recognition must however go to Anne Barnes who was on hand throughout to cover First Aid, Welfare and Admin. Judith Ogden must also be applauded for giving the course its flair and image designing the advertising, supporting booklet and web based information.

Please keep your eye out for notification of further courses and camps throughout 2014 and we look forward to advertising next year’s course in the coming weeks.

Spring Martial Arts Weekend - 3rd to 5th May

3rd, 4th and 5th May 2014
Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park, Woolacombe, North Devon

Once again, Bushido Budo Kai is proud to host the Spring Martial Arts Course at Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park.

The last couple of years have been huge success, with sessions run by many top instructors and attendance filling our mat area completely. We therefore encourage you to book your place as early as possible… numbers for training will be limited!

Our aim this year is to run an equally successful and enjoyable event and we would love for you and your students to be a part of it. The actual content will be dependent upon those who come and the arts they practice but it will involve a variety of disciplines including Judo, Ju-Jitsu, Karate and Aikido.

To help us to plan as quickly as we can it is important that we have course fees and booking forms in as soon as possible. Your help in coordinating this is appreciated and if you can give estimates of numbers sooner, then we would be grateful.

Both children and adults will have an opportunity to practice a variety of Martial Arts under the instruction of well qualified coaches over the weekend.

Practice your own art and maybe try something new, it’s up to you!

Kids, bring Mum or Dad and get them to try as well! We will have a range of activities for all levels and abilities.

Each evening entertainment will be provided by Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park, including a selection from comedians to vocalists
