There will be a club grading on Friday 1st February 2008 up to 2nd Kyu.

As from Friday 4th January 2008 we will be running a self defence course, every Tuesday and Friday from 6.30 to 7.30pm until the end of January.

This is open to everyone, not just club members. The course will comprise various grappling, stick and edged weapon techniques, as well as striking and control techniques as taught to the British armed forces, Japanese and UK police forces.

This will be a mixed class, i.e. juniors and seniors will be sharing the same mat though will not train together for safety reasons.

Each lesson will cost £4, though club members will get a rebate on this fee. There will be no gi’s worn during these training sessions, order of dress will be tracksuits.
