Well done everyone a fantastic Training/Grading session with Ohta Sensei. Our congratulations to all our students who graded and passed their examination, special mention to all the high grades who had a tough grading and who all passed.

Special mention to Arthur Bernabe who not only came from another Association, but had also stopped training a number of years and retook his 1st kyu with JKA.

Special mention also for one Marius Lapkauskas who double graded under Ohta sensei (not an easy task to do), he now joins an elite group of three students who have managed this feat in the last ten years (sensei Aaron did it last time in 2011).

Excellent session with Sensei Ismael on Saturday 5th October

Sensei taught 3 sessions, showing how to create power to blocks and punches through smooth rotation of the hips, emphasis on correct posture , stands and breathing.

Everyone was taught Kihon (Basics), Kumite (Sparring), and Kata (Form) for their relevant Grade.

Black belts were treated to a special class Sensei taught Nidan and Sandan Syllabus, with explanation of the requirements for the exams.

All in all everyone enjoyed their training on the day and walked away with a lot of information to practice for future grading,

Thank you all for your support and attendance
