A strong family values oriented dojo

Talented Collegiates battle hard throughout first grading challenges – Thursday 10th June 2021

13 June 2021
It was certainly an evening of new experiences for the talented collegiate trio being graded and for Senpai Jon in taking his first grading…
It was a grading where all 3 were tested with physical challenge, self reflection and self appreciation of themselves as young adults…
Well supported by families and fellow karate-ka throughout the evening, all 3 emerging with newfound confidence, understanding and respect for themselves and for the Dojo as a unique place for personal development and encouragement….
Thank you to everyone who attended and stayed for the post grading celebrations afterwards…
Congratulations Senpai Jon on taking your first grading and well done to Hayes, Rose and Liam….
 
 
Warmest regards and best wishes always
