Grandmaster Loke held the July Masters meeting at National Headquarters, Grays, Essex, on Sunday 12th July.

It was a very humid day and those in attendance were 'glowing' by the end of the three hour training session.

Grandmaster Loke went through all the Pinan and Louhan forms with those present with keen attention to detail. He also took the opportunity of demonstrating the application of these movements from the forms in order to give those present a clear understanding when practicing or instructing.

Thank you to Master Nazim Gokcezade for being our official photographer for the day.
