Charity kata
A message from Hugh Carroll at Minato Kawa Dojo:
Hi Everyone,
I will be performing a minimum of 500 Seitei and Koryu Iai kata at Minato Kawa dojo on Saturday 24th July 2010.  Why (this madness) you may well ask?
It is to support the Christopher Boakes Fund. A work colleague’s son suffers from restrictive cardiomopathy and she needs to fund a life saving operation for him in the USA.  This combined heart and liver transplant operation cannot be performed in the UK .  While other work colleagues are carrying out the more usual run of the mill fundraising activities to support the fund, I wanted to do something a bit more unique.
I believe that we have here a golden opportunity to demonstrate the power of the life-giving sword.  It is also an opportunity for positive publicity towards Japanese swords, our martial art and the BKA generally.
I hope that Dojo Leaders of the MJER and their dojo members, including their friends and family, will support my efforts with sponsorship and donations , to this most worthy cause. On the day I will be supported and encouraged by other members of Minato Dojo, who have volunteered to keep the count for me !
Please pass this e-mail on to other BKA members, as we need all the support that can be mustered.
