Grading News
Wow, Sensei Mark really took our students through their paces. I almost felt sorry watching our amazing students do so many squats and push ups but as I said ‘almost’. What was very promising is the knowledge our students have, I was very impressed at the knowledge of Yakutes and Kata. Understandably, the stances were a little shaky after all the squats. Results will be announced in 2 weeks as we sort through all our notes.

It’s a terrific way to introduce your friends and family to Karate.

David Hodge Cup February Results
2018’s first instalment of the David Hodge Cup was a tournament of firsts. We had an equal first place in kumite between Leo and Ben. Shihan John said their standard of karate was amazing and inseparable. Zoe and Erin competed against adults in Kata and to the adults disappointed took out 1st and 3rd place. Finally, it was a case of not so loving competitiveness as George G welcomed Jess to the world of kumite. Jess did an exceptional job talking out second place, I’m sure that is the only time Jess has come second to George in anything.
