Great day at the KUGB black and brown course in Barnsley yesterday.

Training for all the brown belts  started at 10:30 with Sensei Frank Brennan and Sensei Billy Higgins taking the class.

Next up were the black belts with Sensei Billy Higgins giving us a masterclass in bunkai and Sensei Frank Brennan working us hard with kumite routines,.

After an hours break, the black belt gradings commenced. Black belt gradings are very intense and demanding, but Lowri gave a fantastic performance and was awarded Shodan.

Many congratulations Lowri.

Well done to Jim again, smashed it this month!!

Anyone interested in trying something new? Maybe you have done karate in the past and would like to come back. AGE IS not an issue!!

We all want to be fitter and there are lots of activities out there that you can do, but sometimes you need something that can motivate and push you. Karate may be just the thing! The belt grading system provides a great incentive, giving you a structured path for improvement with the goal of achieving your next belt working up to that elusive, coveted black belt.

Karate has many proven benefits:

• Great all-round exercise
• Improves mental and physical health
• Helps maintain concentration
• Develops confidence
• Teaches self-defence
• Improves social skills
• Encourages weight loss
• Builds friendships
• Family-friendly

In addition to our evening classes, we have classes in the morning for those who have flexibility with work, or maybe want something to do after dropping off the children at school.

Contact Dave Craggs on 07711009041 for more information or just book into a class.

Well done to Jim and Dorian, who trained in all 6 classes last week.

Well on the way to smashing their next grading!

Starting this Saturday, the class will move from the Scout Hall to the Community Centre. Class will still be 10-11am. Sometime in the future we may change to two classes if numbers increase.

We still have two 9am morning classes at the Scout Hall, Tuesdays and Thursdays, so no excuses for getting in your training. Training twice a week is good, more is better!!

All classes are here: https://www.wcsk.org.uk/index.php/classes/

Next grading is here https://www.wcsk.org.uk/index.php/gradings/

And we have a new name at the top of the list for July. Well done Jim.
