Term Three End
We ended the term with our second karate league of the year.
Well done to each and every student who competed, you all did exceptionally well. A special word of thanks to our medal sponsor Imperial Logistics and thank you to all the other karate dojo’s who supported us.
Those who will be attending the Shorin-ryu Shorinkan Nationals in a weeks time, good luck and leave everything on the floor. Those who will be going on holiday, safe travel and keep training.

Mid-Year Gradings
Excellent gradings in Karate this week!
The discipline, focus and knowledge displayed but each and everyone was exemplary and as some will have come to realise here we all have to really work hard and show this knowledge in ALL aspects..basics..stances..punches..kata.. yakusoku kumite and terminology etc..if success in a grading is to be reached!
I Am so proud of you all!
The Seniors showed how they progressed over the years and showcased what they have learned in their journey of karate. Some are in prep for their upcoming attempt for Black belt.
Enjoy the holidays and keep training, next term is a big one with the Shorin-ryu Nationals coming up as well as a karate league. – Safe travelling
