Reading Training – 20th May 2024
Reading students were in for a bit of a treat tonight. Due to illness, the usual streams were delayed for a week and instead students got to spend the evening sparring with one another. These sessions are always helpful. There’s only so much time during a lesson to learn a new technique and often the best way to practise it is to incorporate it into sparring.
