December Colour-belt Grading

Posted on: November 15th, 2017 by David Finch

The last Grading Day for 2017 is fast approaching and I hope everyone is excited about the next challenge.

We will start the process of “tagging” this week and will continue this leading up to the Grading Day.  If a Black Tag has been awarded we will also hand out a letter explaining what to do next (homework, venue etc).

As always, if a student is not quite ready for the December Grading that is ok.  Martial Arts is an ongoing journey and there will be plenty of exciting challenges and opportunities ahead.

Here are the details for the Grading:

  • Students: White Belt – Blue Belt (incl.)
  • Date: Sunday, 10th December 2017
  • Venue: Simon Langton Boys School, Canterbury, CT4 7AS
  • Times: Mighty Matts – 0930hrs, Juniors & Adults – 1015hrs

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to speak to your Instructor and we look forward to seeing you all in class

Day of P.E. at Hernhill Primary

Posted on: April 25th, 2017 by David Finch

On Monday, 24th April we were invited to spend a day at Hernhill Church of England Primary School to deliver a day of Martial Arts P.E. lessons.

We taught 5 lessons for years 2-6 and what a fun time we had.  All the children were incredibly focused and well behaved and really got stuck in!  Lots of kicking, balance and learning about what it takes to be a champion in life.

Thank you to everyone involved and well done to all of the wonderful children.
