WOW!!!!

 
What a year we have had so, we've had a busy one with making new connections. Trainiing, Grading, and having fun. Now we are coming upto the end of what I would say has been a productive year for the club. We are now saying good bye to 2012 soon and BRING IT ON to 2013.
So whats going to happen in 2013, Put simply ALOT!!! Our last class of 2012 will be on Thursday 20th at 18:30-20:30 and believe me when I say there is a reason WHY this is a 2 Hour class!
1) Would be its our last class for 2012
2) Would be its also going to be a AWARDS!!!!!! night. With Awards for Senior Student of the YEAR being presented, Junior Student of The Year being Presented, and Student of the Month for December 2012. (plese note the student of the month Trophy is to be rotated so is not for keeps and the preveious student of the month is to Pass it onto the new Student of The Month or Retain it if they are Student of The Month AGAIN). And finally
3) In 2013 The THURSDAY class will become a 2 HOUR class, Starting AT 18:00-20:00
 
BIG things are planned for 2013. In Febuary we will be holding our FIRST Grading of 2013 so PRACTISE PRACTISE and PRACTISE and TRAIN HARD. Also why not ask Sensei What you need to improve on to help you towards your next grade. DO NOT ask or Push for grading this is BAD Etiquette.
ALSO!!! in MARCH we will be COMPITING in our FIRST EVER!!! Championships The European and English Karate Organisation Championships where ant titles won are EUROPEAN TITLES !!!
Also in the Summer there is a Oppertunity for you and your family to have a holiday in the New Forest, and to Train in Abaniko Tres Putas, The classical art of Philipino Arnes (stick fighting), with instructors such as GM Angilo (founder and chief instructor of Abaniko Tres Puntas UK) and featured in Martial Arts Illustrated Magazing January issue. Also some Grand Masters from the Philipines such GM Rene Tongson who is a Student of the founder of This Awsome Philipino style.
And as Always there will be plenty of seminars and workshops through out the year. And oppertunities to make new friends who also share passion for Martial Arts, as well as Training with some friends of the club, such as The Chief Instructor and Founder of Taijutsudo Karate Sensei Rob Brown (4th Dan) and other friends such as GM Bob Carruthers (one of sensei's new instructors), Rensei Reiner Parsons (7th dan Goju) and Sensei's Friend from Manchester Sensei Simon Keegan. Plus loads more masters and instructors just WATCH THIS SPACE 2013 is going to go BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
