Wow what a fantastic honour to take part in such a prestigious event and to be asked to showcase Muay Thai at a prestige traditional Japanese Arts event is even more of a honour!

When we arrived in Verona, Italy. We were treated to a fantastic welcome, meeting up with some friends from around the world we were treated to the Presidents reception and lovely meal..

The weekend was all about Martial Arts above is a photo of all the teachers many 8th Dan or above! 

We got to train in Karate, Jujitsu, Aikido as well as learning sword kata's and working with staff..

Next year the TaiKai event will be held in Sicily, it would be great to take a large group.. I'm even thinking about taking some of the advanced kids.....

Verona is a lovely place :-
