Movie Madness

I hope I speak for everyone in saying that yesterday's social was a great night out. For those not familiar with our belt crawls, for many years they have been a popular addition to our club's social calendar. We get together and aim to imbibe a drink for every coloured belt; starting with white all the way to the tenth black (though this is an honour reserved for the deceased). This time we added a twist and asked that people come dressed as movie characters associated with their belt colour. Below are some pictures of the mayhem.

Established members made a great effort with the fancy dress theme.

New guys were more reluctant but showed promise at working through the 'belts'.

No social would be complete without push ups.

Until next time, Kanpai!

Happy Satuday

Last night's training saw the student become the master as our instructor was unfortunately ill. I hope everyone enjoyed learning the new kata and working on the basics. I was really impressed with everyone's progress and well done for picking up Taikyoku Shodan so quickly!

Be sure to check your emails (or view it here: http://eepurl.com/qh16L) as there are some important announcements today with further details about membership, equipment orders and tonight's social.

Be the leaf!

Thanks everyone for really putting your hearts into a physically demanding session yesterday. Was anyone else reminded of being a leaf in the wind during the dodging exercises?



From now on every Wednesday will have a similar focus on fitness, conditioning and sparring, with some traditional elements forming the backbone.

Come along on Friday for a more traditional lesson working on stance and form. We'll be training in a squash court as the open day is kicking us out of the hall.
