On Saturday, 28 October 2006 the 16th international Senshusei performed at the 51st All Japan Enbu in Tokyo, Japan. It was tremendous pressure but a huge honour to lead the march and the kihon dosa renzoku, which had taken months of practice. Watching were the Aikido greats, including Inoue Kancho, Chida Sensei, Takeno Sensei and Chino Sensei. It seemed to go quite well, but please watch and judge for yourself!

Arguably one of the toughest martial arts courses in the world and described as 11 months of hell, the international Yoshinkan Aikido Senshusei course is the subject of the book – Suck It Up Or Go Home – A True Story About The Courage To Stand Up, Keep Going And Never Give In! The book charts the author's early life from being bullied at school to the Muay Thai ring and to Tokyo, Japan. More than just a book on martial arts, it contains life lessons on courage, discipline and the determination to keep going, no matter what.
