Its purpose was integration of training methods and the opportunity to train with a larger Squad of experienced competitors. The Squads were split into Male & Female and offered 2 sessions each. Wayne Otto took the first of the Male & Female sessions and following the warm up on the second, I was allocated the remainder of the sessions. Both Coaches put the Squad through their paces and the end result was great. I personally enjoyed the occasion as did my Students. We look forward to the next opportunity.
