Birmingham 2012 Seminar Photos

Well done to Kris and Wayne for placing 1st in their respective divisions, and to to Darren and Hugh for their 3rd places. (Darren you need to shorten your hakama!)

With the entry of Phil Kirkby and Steve Fitzpatrick the Minato Dojo and Minato Kawa Dojo  combination made a great impression.

Fantastic results.

With Doug Evans' able guidance Minato has once again flared it nostrils, breathing fire. This sets us up well for the upcoming 2012 Nationals! Ganbatte!
