Posted on by

For all senior karateka and instructors, the WIKF leaders course is the most important course you can attend each year. These courses are only open to 2ND Dan and above and the aim is to unite our technique, safeguarding the authentic Wado as taught by our founder.

Day 1: 29-Oct, 13:00 to 17:30
Day 2: 30-Oct, 10:00 to 14:30

Anyone wishing to grade at this event must contact eleni3@mac.com to pre-register for either Dan Grading, or the examiners examination.

MID-WEEK TRAINING TO BE REVIEWED

Posted on by

Due to declining numbers of students training on a Wednesday evening, Sensei Bell will be reviewing the feasibility of continuing this class. Although students continue to express an interest, current attendance levels do not cover the cost of the venue rental and so it may not be possible to sustain this training slot.
This is a 2hr session that covers basics and syllabus material, but also more advanced techniques such as knife and sword defence. It also represents an excellent opportunity ahead of a grading for a full mock session.
This class is open to all karateka and students are welcome to train the first, second or both hours – especially useful for the younger students when the 21:30 finish may be too late on a school night.

It’d be a shame to loose this training slot, so all students are urged to attend if possible over the coming weeks!

KYU GRADING SUCCESS AT N’ARDS

Big thank you to Bobby Hamilton and the other organisers for another great training course. Sensei Wicks certainly put everyone through their paces over the two days!

Congratulations to Kiryoku karateka on successfully grading as follows:

3rd Kyu (Brown)
Matthew B
David G

4th Kyu (Purple)
Conor B
Carl S

Commiserations to Arthur on missing the opportunity to take the 1ST Kyu grading due to injury. Sensei Bell congratulated everyone on their achievements and also highlighted that there is likely be another Kyu and Dan grading before the year end. Anyone wishing to try for their next belt is reminded that only students training syllabus on a regular basis will be permitted to grade.
