Very successful session this evening, we have recently implemented a new session plan for the first Thursday of every month. These sessions will be an open Randori evening going through theory, rules, exercises and doing Randori to learn and prepare for the next world championships which will be held in Poland next year. This evening we ran through the timing of when to create balance breaks, getting into the mindset of striking with Tanto and working on the distances and closure of distance when facing someone with the Tanto, we then finished off with active Hikitatigeiko and it ended up being a sweaty one. These sessions are open to anyone who would like to learn Randori and we are extending the invitation to anyone of any club, affiliation and background to attend them, we hope to see more attending next month!👊🏽 … See MoreSee Less

Coach Robyn took the lead taking the class this evening as we said goodbye and good luck to Ant as he moves to Hull to start studying to become a doctor. Ant is a shining example of our club, he started with us around 4-5 years ago and his growth has been exceptional, he quickly became one of the team and can boast being a 1st Place International medalist for Open Kata earned in Japan 2023. This isn’t the end as we know where he lives… but seriously T / Wabagee all the best, your weekly presence will be utterly missed. ❤️ … See MoreSee Less
