December 2012

This month saw the last grading of the year with Sarah Barber achieving her black belt. Sarah was one of the very first members of our Richard Avenue club and has been training with us for over seven years. It was also good news for all those grading who all passed after weeks of intense preparation. This was the first grading this year where all members achieved their next belt which reinforces their commitment. Congratulations to all.

November 2012

November saw the culmination of months of intensive training and years practice for Sensei Gary who decided it was time to attempt his next Dan grade (only 8 years late). He had the support of his wife Sensei Louise and two well known senior instructors who he regularly trains with (Sensei George Coates 7th Dan and Sensei Dave Jenkinson 5th Dan). We are happy to announce that he achieved his 3rd Dan!

Sensei Gary sends thanks to all fellow karateka and instructors who supported him during his preparations.
