HALLOWEEN 2007
Witches,
wizards, goblins, things that are not human and things that go bump in the
night. No, not a Stephen King movie but Halloween Training at Kaizen
Martial Arts Academy. Tuesday 30 October 2007 at East Leeds Dojo and
Wednesday 31 October 2007 at West Leeds Dojo. Reception and
administration was managed by the Grand Witch Julie Reece who managed to look
like she'd gone for a budget make over and won! She certainly frightened
me. Obviously diplomacy (and terror) prevents me from making any other
comment.
At
East Leeds I led the training and was ably assisted by Jo (the Slasher) Haigh
and Vicki (the Little Red Devil) Sumner and Martin (the Karate Kid) Gubb. Vicki
was joined in her attack on the senses by Harriet Kettlewell whose other claim
to fame is mentioned in the Germany 2007 report! At West Leeds, Jodie (the Black
Witch) Ritchie, Alan (Meagi) Wainwright and Darryl (the bone grinder) Garrick
assisted. The young karateka and their friends looked absolutely superb in
their costumes and obviously they had spent a lot of time and effort
preparing for the evening. The slightly less young karateka looked
slightly worrying, in particular Suzanne Waterhouse and Yvette Wright who I
intend to use as my new debt collecting agency staff! All the karateka got
involved in all the activities and training. Some of the karateka were kind
enough to look after the non-karateka and did a fabulous job. It looked like everybody
appeared to have enjoyed themselves.
The
winner of the gis for the best costume went to Aidan Guy and Grace Dean.
Well done you two..
