2022 April 2: First keiko since the start of pandemic lockdowns two years ago


We had our first (fully masked) keiko on April 2, after a hiatus of two years and two weeks. Our last keiko before 2022 April 2 was Friday, 2020 March 13.

The 17 participants of the April 2 keiko were (seated, l-r): Solo Brugada, Ruel Abion, Dennis Reyes, Dam Amaranto (instructor), RSReyes, Bruno Lamblin, Troy Nones, Nelson Talag; (standing, l-r): Ben Raquel, Niko Santos, Chrys Ibarra, Joseph Go, Mel Camus, Augie Trillanes, Raul de Vera, Stephen Macapagal.

This keiko also marked the first use of our new tatami, which is composed of three layers of jigsaw rubber mats.
