There was a traditional technical training focused on warm up as many children and lower grades attended, also tried some useful combinations for fighting skills. 3 of the black belts officially received their 2nd - 3rd dan belts and diplomas as a result of their summer grading. 


On Thursday, Shihan travelled to Jászberény and Nagykáta where Sensei Agócs Tibor (Club Yakuzák SE / Y Akadémia) showed his amazing dojos.
