Welcome to
East London JKA Karate Club

Congratulations to all our students on a successful grading on Sunday..

We had 28 straight passes and 2 temporary passes…All in all a good turnout from all…

We need to work on Stances Kime and kata understanding, so plenty of work for the coming months from everyone..

Training wise a disappointment from students not grading as a good opportunity missed to train under Ohta Sensei, we expect more commitment from all our students,visiting instructors will only be booked if we feel the support from students is there specially from the higher grades..

Please note that as always if you train once a week you can expect to be assessed for grading every six months, we also monitor your attendance to visiting instructors and it all adds up to your assessment, the more commitment to your Karate studies the better chance of passing assessments.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding..

Dear all

Just a short note to update everyone on the upcoming events that will affect the Club and its Students/ Instructors in the next few weeks. Our first event is the Inter Club Championship on Saturday 11^th October. We would like all students with licenses to take part as this is a very good platform to future grading.

We need your name, license details (number and date of expire), age on the day, current grade, this to be done ASAP…latest Wednesday 8^th. You may text us on 07906 020 950 with the details. Details are needed to put you in the correct group for the competition rounds. License must be in date for competition. Fee can be paid on the day to the coach, £10 for both KATA & KUMITE.

We apologise to everyone as this year we simply were not able to organise ourselves as we have done in the past, unfortunately we have been very busy and thus we were unable to delegate the work that was needed.. VERY FEW STUDENTS HAVE GIVEN THEIR NAMES SO FAR, WE NEED MORE NAMES TO MAKE THIS COMPETITION A SUCCESS…

Our second event will be the National Shotokan Open Championship (1st November), were designated students will receive a letter confirming their place as Club squad members…Again we are tight on time and need an answer as fast as you can ,once you receive your letter. We have to send our Club squad list by the 17^th , this is a deadline if we miss it we miss the Championships. £20 for KATA & KUMITE.

Lastly our final grading for 2014 will be on Sunday the 7^th December with Ohta Sensei (venue to be confirmed), all students successful in their assessment will be notified closer to the date, please note that after grading there will be an end of year club presentation which all need to attend.

Please support all club activities by participating with the events whenever possible, volunteer with the Club and help out, come and support training with the examiners, compete and gain invaluable experience.

We need more students so please try and recruit friends neighbours anyone you can think of, we have this year experienced a drop in the student intake for the first time, this has an impact as students move and are not replaced, it also means less activities for everyone.

Thank you for your time  in reading this and your understanding.

Dear all

Just to let everyone know that due to falling students numbers this past year, we will be shutting down our Friday session at Becontree Heath Leisure Centre, sadly the lesson stopped being financially viable a long time ago.

Please note our final Friday session will be on the 12th of September..

Do please pass on to students affected by this change..

All students are asked to transfer to the Wednesday session 7pm to 8pm @ Robert Clack school leisure Centre.

Thank you for your understanding.
