NEWSLETTER –
We are now moving into the summer months so please ensure you remain hydrated (bring a water bottle to the dojo, or make sure you get a drink after training).
I would like to thank everyone who supported the club by attending the class when I was officially awarded my 8th Dan by Shihan Adamou, Chief Instructor of the IASK. It was nice to get recognition for over 50 years of karate.
The club is only as good as its students and it was pleasing to hear Shihan Adamou say the standard at Shintai was very good. So, thank you to everyone for your efforts. I know everyone tries to attend lessons and reasons for missing are always genuine, I appreciate when people inform me that they can’t make a lesson.
While I don’t wish to increase training fees, or ask for advance payments, sometimes I do not have enough students to cover the costs of hall hire. So, if you know anyone who might be interested in joining perhaps you could suggest they give it a try? A few more students would be nice
