My Kenshusei Journey: Week 4
Glenn Riley with Richard Amos and Takeshi Kitagawa
20 March · New York, NY, United States
Final week of Kenshusei training at the WTKO Honbu Dojo in New York. Although I still have a week left, the training has been incredible, intense, and very rewarding. I have missed my family terribly, and I will miss everyone at the WTKO Honbu and Earth Yoga.

Helen Thornham This looks like a great transferable skill to me: I can see all kinds of potential for school uniforms, towels etc 😉

A fantastic, tough class this evening. The atmosphere is always brilliant ! I'm not too sure about my Heian Shodan skills anymore though Jessica 😊

Colin Needham But what a place to study Heian Shodan. And with Enoda Sensei watching behind you!

Great morning training with one of Sensei's private students who I will really miss. Class covered the last two of the 26 Kata I have been lucky enough to be taken through ( Meikyo and Wankan). My last full day in New York before heading home tomorrow. It has been an unbelievable experience.

Many thanks to everyone for following my journey. I have thoroughly enjoyed my Kenshusei training, although to be honest, I am drained! Richard Amos Sensei certainly pushes you to the extreme. I wish to thank Sensei and Yanti Amos for being so kind to me.
