23.01.2022 A Reminder for the first few weeks we need to book you in for classes. You must type name/names, day and times to book in. We are currently capped at 20 students per class, but expecting to have no cap after 1st of July. Thank you for your assistance and understanding.

23.01.2022 The kids were outside enjoying having sensei Pat run them all around for the first part of the night The teenagers and adults were inside with a night focused on kata. Working from 1st kata through to saifa. Starting off with exaggerating stances to get a stretch and then speed to get a sweat going. After a break kids worked on combinations while the older group put the focus mitts on do some cardio work. To finish off everyone worked through kata.

18.01.2022 It was wet outside but everyone still turned up to train Sensei Ulf took the warm up and then it was onto some basics and combos. After a quick break it was the first week we were able to get back into some sparring Those who didn't have gear either worked on kata or yellow and white belts worked on their grading formats. Good luck to everyone going to grading this weekend, we know you're all going to smash it

15.01.2022 Another great turnout. After warm up and done basics to get moving we broke into kata groups. White belts with sensei Ruth focused on basics, yellow belts on the stage, green/ blue with sensei Pat and red+ work sensei Shaun. Lots of kata to work on the finer points on stances and transitions. After that it was kumite combinations for white and yellow belts, while the higher grades worked on their next higher grade kata. Great work by everyone tonight.

13.01.2022 Missing a few people but everyone still put in . After a warm up with push ups and star jump sumo squats (!), it was into basics and combos. Then we moved into some sparing (at a safe distance). Putting our basics into a bit of practice. To finish the night off it was kata, all the coloured belts gave seienchin a go tonight for a bit of variation..

13.01.2022 The class was split into white to orange belts outside with sensei Pat. They started off with basics then onto combinations and blocks with partners. (A few too many push ups required though!) Everyone else was inside with sensei Shaun working with partners on kata, kicks and more advanced combinations. To finish the night off we worked on sparing technique, stepping into block and some kumite (with fitness in between rounds) Congratulations to Leon on grading to yellow tip tonight

11.01.2022 A warm night tonight and the hard work only made it warmer Sensei Brendan got everyone warm then it was onto basics for whites while coloured grades worked through combinations.
