Summary of our 13th-14th May 2011 MJER seminar by Andrej Sensei

We are fortunate and grateful to have Andrej Sensei (a high-ranking MJER instructor) to take his own valuable time out of his busy travel schedule to come all the way here to Singapore and teach us more about MJER Iaido.

And we also enjoyed our get together BBQ dinner with Andrej Sensei at Alfred's place at the end of our 2nd day training. 

Andrej Sensei left with a good impression of our club and will make a favourable report to Esaka Sensei and Hiro Sensei when he sees them.

Let's train harder, and keep the spirit of our Eishin Ryu Iaido Singapore club going stronger!

Cheers!

A good Samurai film to watch!
