Sensei Jim has had a moment of madness and has decided to do a fundraising walk to try and raise some funds for the Kent Michi Squad.

The plan.. to walk 195km before the next grading date (14/09/25). Why 195km?

I've picked my favourite 5 katas. The 5 katas have a total of 195 moves, so 1 move = 1km walked.

Jitte = 24

Chinte = 32

Sochin = 41

Meikyo = 33

Gojushio Sho = 65

What's it all for?

Unfortunately, some of the equipment we currently use is nearing the end of its life, and as the squad grows, we also need more of it. We're hoping to raise some money that can be invested back into our squad members, whether it be new mitts, pads, or even mats.

No amount is too small, even a pound can be contributed to some of the high costs of this equipment, and would be very much appreciated, by the students, coaches, instructors and the rest of the Michi Team.
