The topic of the regatta had a Japanese theme with Yuka-san in full kimono while Fricke sensei and sho-dan Dave where asked to help with a photo-shoot for HPI Magazine due to be released in August 2009.
Special thanks to Andrew, chief editor of HPI & Boost magzaine, and Terry and Eugene for their invitation and organising the event under somewhat freezing and, at times, very windy conditions; except for a 3 second drizzle the weather held, allowing the sun to rise the core-temperature to every ones comfort-zone.
The day ended with a short demo in Nakamura Ryu Batto-do by Hans sensei and Dave, performing kumitachi kata 1-6, bokken fencing drills, and a short tameshigiri display in single and partner precision cutting.
