MEMBERS of Bridport Aikido club went to Austria for a week long Aikido training course in Graz - the hometown of Arnold Schwarzenegger no less!
Sensei Jake Birkett is pictured here with Georg Mahring, a former Bridport resident, on top of Schockel, a 1550m mountain near Graz, which they hiked up.
Mr Birkett said: "Often you hear motivational speakers say 'it's like climbing a mountain'. Well at least I can say I've done that now, so I know what it's like - it wasn't easy but the view of the Alps at the top was outstanding!'"
