At the end of 2011, Will participated in his last club training session with us for a while – he’ll be off to Rwanda in the next few days.
Will always trains hard and has made a great contribution to the dynamic of the dojo since joining Shiranamikai.
We all wish Will our best and look forward to seeing him back at training in the autumn!
