Shin Gi Tai Martial Arts Academy

Introducing... Beyond the Belt Life Skills - Powered by Shin Gi Tai.

Monthly life skill topics are back with a bang! And this time everything you read is done by our team and coaches. We have stories from the academy and challenges directly from your coaches!

This month's topic is Courage. We'll tell you what it means to have courage and why it is important in all aspects of life!

Each child will get a August workbook which we'd love for them to work through and then recap with their coaches.

Gradings are an important part of your martial arts journey. It gives you goals to look towards and also gives you a great indication of your growth.

This is how we do our gradings. Everyone's journeys are different but if you attend twice a week for 5 years, you'd be looking at gaining your black belt.

Our gradings are held in March, June, September and December. Our next grading weekend is the 26/27 of September. Ask your coaches what you need to do to make sure you're nominated to grade.

Hey everyone, just a reminder we are now closed for the next 2 weeks. We hope you all have a lovely break and see you again soon!!

Last weekend, the Shin Gi Tai competition team attended both the junior and the adult national light sanda tournament.

It was an amazing weekend, where we achieved our best ever results, and topped the medal tables. We had 18 gold medals, 5 silver medals and 2 bronze medals!
In the junior tournament we had 26 wins, with 8 losses (4 matches were against ourselves, so 22 wins and 4 losses against other clubs!) and in the adults tournament we had 2 wins and 1 loss!

We are extremely proud of the effort put in by every member of the competition team, and sorry for those who couldn’t be there to celebrate with them. We owe a big thank you to all of the grown ups who bring all of the juniors to the competition sessions, and for being such a great supporting team on the day, and another thank you to the BCCMA for running a great tournament, finding opportunities for all of our fighters.
