Well done to everyone who graded on Saturday the 30th of May under the ever watchful eye of Sensei Jimmy Brennan. Tough session especially with the heat. There was also a great class afterwards for seniors concentrating on kata – no placed to hide in that class!

Rayan once more tops the list for the first month of this year.
Rayan tops the list for June. Well done.
Get those session in for July!
Rayan S 17The latest club grading took place on Saturday the 8th of July. This took place at the gym in the Catholic High School , a much more spacious venue.
Sensei Jimmy Brennan took the pre grading class going through the grading syllabus in great detail. Everyone did really well despite the heat, Sensei even gave everyone a break midway through the class which was much appreciated..
Everyone did very well, and all 17 students graded passed fully.
Well done to:
Gareth tops the list again, with a few close followers.
Don’t forget the more you train the better you will be and much more prepared for the next grading. So get those sessions in!
Rayan was top for April by a good margin, although Easter probably reduced some of your training. Let’s get your sessions in – next gradings will come along very soon
Another busy month for the club. Rayan and Gareth top the list. Let’s see who will be top in April.
