Glasgow University Shorinji Kempo Club - Self Defence Based Martial Art

Gassho.
It is with great regret that I announce the decision to suspend training at GUSKC.
We need to see how things work out but with positive cases of Coronavirus at the uni and with lectures being cancelled, I think it would be irresponsible to continue.
... I will review this decision at the end of March and post again.

Please consider voting for Sam who came last night to class. He's running for GUSA Convenor.
Over the 15 years that I have been in GUSKC, we've had a lot of GUSA Committee hopefuls come in to campaign. Sam has by far, impressed me the most. Admittedly, I gave him a bit of a hard time but he answered questions well and was really keen in the class, willing to learn.
Sam is also part of the Muay Thai club. Support another martial artist and take the time to vote!

Gassho.
I'm so sorry but I am going to have to cancel the Randori seminar today. My cold has got worse and its unlikely I'm going to get any better this afternoon.
We'll organise another randori seminar for next semester.

OK, it's Pay Day weekend and a few of you asked for a reminder to donate so I'm going to assume that everybody wants a reminder.
I am climbing Mount Kilimanjaro at the end of October in aid of Rape Crisis. You are *NOT* funding my holiday or life goals.
Please don't just 👍🏼❤️😭😢😂 this post!
... If you want to support me/this cause, make a donation. Even £1 will help.
Thank you
