Just a quick message to the wider Wado family to say that Shiomitsu Sensei visited every day on the Wado Academy Winter Course in Guildford last week.
Sensei has a long journey still but the fact that was able to traverse the dojo floor in his wheelchair whilst we were training was fantastic to see. It put the instructors and those near under a lot of pressure, but that is no different to before! ha ha.

Re: Shiomitsu Sensei visited the Winter Course
Am just going to reuse an old post to say that Shiomitsu Sensei was at the Wado Academy Summer Course recently visiting for the one day.
For the first time we saw him take some steps from his wheelchair to take his seat for the group photo. It was lovely to see. There's still a long way to go. When he shakes my hand, he's still got a strong grip!
