On October 3rd 2009 Shihan Trevor Smith was the Uki (crash test dummy) for O-Sensei Alexey Kunin. Soke Dave Franklin from Dave Franklin Martial Arts Invited O-Sensei to visit Australia and run a one day session in Werribee. As well as demonstrations on many hard core Jujitsu techniques there was a very interesting session on the history of Jujitsu and grading presentations. Shihan has Uki for many of O-Sensei's favourite tricks and survived the day with only one black eye and less than a hand full of bruises. Katrin Wilhelm from the Bendigo Ryu school also attended and got away unscathed. The seminar was a great success with around 100 Jujitsu exponents attending. Many of whom are very well known in the Jujitsu world. Thank you to Soke Dave Franklin and his assistants for the effort and the opportunity to take part and play such an honored role.
