Rick was on form for the weekend of 18-19 July, delivering as always a wide range of techniques from tachiwaza and newaza.
Saturday morning focused on a selection of newaza techniques from all categories and in the afternoon tachiwaza, with an emphasis on uchikomi.
A pleasant dinner at El Matador Argentinian Steakhouse (the pork belly is really nice, guys) was followed by a nocturnal stroll through horizontal rain for Mr and Mrs Littlewood.
Sunday had a certain amount of reiteration of the main points from Saturday and session focusing on both Tachiwaza, Newaza and a final demonstration of two of Rick’s specialty techniques – Ude Gaeshi and Hikkoki Nage.
Feedback from participants has been really positive, and Rick certainly enjoyed the chance to visit Patrick and the wider judo family in Wellington.
Also in attendance were our friends Colin Berry from Budokan JC, Simon Ogden and Katia MacKenzie from Masterton JJA, and Sam Varley from Christchurch Judo School.
Photos from this weekend are now on the PHOTOS page of the website which we can be accessed via the JUDO page.
