Competition

Well done to all that entered the recent competition in Oldham and also those that made the journey to Darlington in August. It was a pleasure to see all the kids competing in Kumite and doing themselves and their parents proud. You were all great ambassadors for the club and it was good to see some of you placing in the top three in your category’s. Also a massive thank you to the parents who have supported the kids wherever they have been competing.

Fight Club, February 2016

Well done to those that attended the fight club session on Saturday the 6th of Feb. I Would like to have seen more students there but still a decent turn out, those that have attended both sessions have really shown improvements and have shown they are committed to entering Comps and doing well. Some of the students should hold their own with no problems come competition time if they put into practice what they have learnt.

See Gallery for photos.

Grading 28th November 2015

Well done to all those that graded, some excellent grades from both Adults and Children. A special mention to Dave Parish and Steve Brereton on a demanding grading which had them working for over 90 minutes with a break of 2 minutes, a well deserved and hard earned brown belt.

Well done all and keep training, do not slack off. We will be having some fighting lessons on the Friday nights up until the Xmas close down, so get down to Beswick and make use of the Kumite mats. I know those that have been down on Fridays are enjoying the mats and the adults are enjoying being thrown about by one and other 🙂

New 8th Kyus

Congratulations to those that recently graded to 8th kyu. I am sure that they will agree that they had to put some hard work in on the day to be awarded a pass mark.It is always pleasing when you see the graders come away with a good sweat on and they know themselves that the belt has been earned and not just awarded.
