The CL3 assessment was held at the Yama Arashi Aikido and
Fitness club in Coventry and had an usual start. The
applicants turned up around 9:30 to find someone had thrown
a big lump of masonry through the window that also ripped
the mat in a couple of places! As good Aikidoist’s they
contacted the Principal, Barbara Moss and then cleaned up
all the glass. Barbara would have had to cancel the Saturday
classes if she hadn’t had the help of those taking CL3 and
she wished to say how grateful she was.
This final assessment part of CL3 consisted of theory,
practical and the submission of pre-set course work. The
practical was split into two sections, the first for mid kyu
grades and the second for high Dan grades. All the
applicants did this with skill, confidence and humour and
they are a credit to the British Aikido Board.
Successful applicants were:
Bob Salloway – Kai Shin Kai
Steve Billet – Aikido Development Society
Rod White - Aikido Development Society
Ann Billett – Aikido Development Society
Allan Rowley – British Aikido Federation
Terry Bayliss – Seijitsu Aikido Ryu
