Czech Republic Course - May 2008

       

This years Czech Republic course was again held in Brno with eleven students and instructors travelling from the UK. Pictured left to right are Sensei's: Kevin Leigh 5th dan, Anne Hastings 6th dan, Vit Stencel 2nd dan and Ivor Garner 5th dan.

Karate Husovice of Brno did another fantastic job of looking after us with students travelling from all over Czech to come and train with us.

The class was first split into two groups with each being taught by sensei Leigh and Hastings.

A fantastic day in Vienna then to a farmhouse Winery on the Czech-Austrian border

Not sure if the wine cellar was such a good idea so early in the evening!! The sensible ones explored a ruin...

 

Sunday night at the help yourself bar... literally !!!

 

On Monday we were given a private tour of Brno castle.
