Congratulations to Trevor Pickles

What a great achievement for Trevor who recently achieved his Black Belt in Aiki Jujutsu. Now this is not a bad effort at his age (lets just call him "over 60") and the oldest bloke in his Jujutsu club to boot!

Here is a picture of Trevor in formal dress which, after 8 years of training and finally grading for Black Belt I get to wear this formal garment called a Hakama - it was made to measure in Japan and sent over for me.
There is a long ancestry/history to this garment which makes interesting reading if one Googles - hakama. or simply CLICK HERE
