2007 - August 4 & 5 - Stage with Sozen Larson, 5th Dan, from Kakudokan Dojo, Norway.

            The  focus of the stage was the changes in the first two sword kata's and the gamai.

            Numbers were small enough for the stage to feel very personal and to give the

            opportunity to learn the changes. Sozen Larson is a very friendly and patient teacher,

            whose efforts were very much appreciated by us all from Kokorodojo. A great thank you

            to Sozen Larson, for coming over from Norway.

2007 - October 6 & 7 - Stage with Claudio Regoli, 5th Dan from the Italian Katori Shinto Ryu

             Association (see link page). It turned out to be a great seminar, enjoyed by all attending.

             Due to the smaller than expected numbers, the stage was very intimate and gave a

             wonderful opportunity to learn and integrate the changes to some of the techniques and .

             gamai. The changes come directly from Yukihiro Sugino, head master of the school and

             will be a permanent part of the curriculum. We are all very grateful to Claudio Regoli for

             coming over from Italy and imparting his knowledge with us.
