Election Results and AGM

Yesterday (Wednesday, 24 March 2010) the club elections for next year and club AGM (Annual General Meeting) took place. During the AGM it was decided that from now on the Female and Male Team Captain positions get elected in the new academic year, on the 3rd week from the beginning of the training sessions. Due to this reason, the members who are chosen for the Team Captain positions (for Female Team Captain: Maddie Dorey and Male Team Captain: Mohammad Reza) will need to be re-elected in the new academic year.

Here are the election results for 2010-2011 academic year:
President: Fatma Salahioglu
Secretary: Maddie Dorey
Treasurer: Peter Ovenden
Social Secretary: James Tolson

As the current committee, we would like to wish the new committee great success in the new academic year. Well done everybody!

What we do.

The University of Kent Karate Club is situated in Canterbury and is very well established; we’ve been around longer than any other martial arts club on campus with a long history of success at the national university championships. The teaching is generally fairly relaxed but disciplined, the teachers all very approachable. We also have a varied curriculum and full weekly training schedule.

Karate is a traditional Japanese martial art; literally meaning ‘empty hand’ it was first created as unarmed defence against armed opponents. It uses powerful strikes designed to disable and incapacitate potential antagonists and as such is a practical skill to know. It provides both mental and physical conditioning, keeps you fit and works to teach useful self-defence.

We are a multi-discipline club, although we’re based in dentokan shorin ryu style karate we have a number of senseis trained in various styles. Beginners are welcome at any point in the year however it’s advisable to join closer to the beginning of a term to benefit the most.

We grade twice over the year towards the end of each term to recognise improvement made and to add a bit more variety we also frequently hold lessons dedicated to ju-jitsu style self defence and basic weapons training.

We cater for competitive members, we normally enter the annual ‘BUCS’ university competition, and this year we hope to get involved in a few more. Our social calendar is usually packed full of exciting events and this year is set to be no different.
