Part 3 of the Swedish Cup in Linköping was a re-run of the previous instance, as Knut Högvall from Issha took the gold medal yet again, and Ingemar Karlsson the bronze. However, the silver went to Uwe Klosa of Hokushinkan this time. Congratulations!
Knut now leads the total cup with 30 points after three consecutive wins, and the only person left with a chance of catching up is Uwe Klosa at 20 points.

The last summer practice is on Wednesday 7 August. Wednesday 14 August will be a special instructor class in preparation for the autumn term.
The autumn term starts on Friday 16 August. The hours on Fridays are the usual 6.30pm-9.30pm.
New for the autumn term is that we finally have slightly better hours on Wednesdays! Now, the class is half an hour earlier—7.30pm-9.30pm—i.e. the class ends at the same time as on Fridays. So those of you who have been reluctant to attend on Wednesdays because of the late time no longer have any excuse to be absent. :)
Welcome!

Sweden performed well at the World Championships in Nagoya. The team (consisting of Knut Högvall and Christine Alveblad from Issha, plus Per Ybo from Hokushinkan) was in shared fifth place after the qualification rounds (out of 36 teams) -- the best result ever at the World Championships. But in the final rounds, the team had bad luck and lost against Switzerland.
However, all team members were proud over the achievements. Next try in four years!
