            The Bi-annual Coaching day took place at the Kesshin Kai H.Q. headquarters in Windermere. At the weekend, both Levels 1 and 2 were assessed and accredited by Kesshin Kai founder and President Sensei R. Smith.

            All leader and coaching courses are designed to help the individual focus, increase self-confidence, self-respect, and self –discipline. It was a very enjoyable and intense day with a very good pass rate. All students who attended the coaching day were selected on Age, Ability, Maturity and Belt Rank. Students that attended should be very proud of their achievement.

            Processed with MOLDIV
            Present at the course was Joel Milner, Molly Thackway, Leo Sowerby, Szymon Marciniak, Daniel Charnley, Johnny Voortman,  Alex Mc Quillan, Michael Lawson,  Joel Emerson-Gregory and William Butler.

            Level 1’s concentrated on topics like health and safety in the Dojo, Introduction to coaching whilst Level 2’s had a chance to practise performing a basic technique in front of a small group, assisted by their Sensei.

            All the students enjoyed expressing their own understanding of the situations disused and enjoyed giving their own examples. Everyone took part in their own individual assisted exercise warm up and worked very well as a team. This was a very successful day for Kesshin Kai.

             

            If you would like to put your name forward and book on the Next coaching day 24th -25th September, please speak to your Sensei at your Local club for more details.
