🎓🥋 GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR JKS WALES MEMBERS RECEIVING THEIR A-LEVEL RESULTS TODAY! 🥋🎓

A huge congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard to get to this point. Whatever your results, be proud of the commitment, discipline and determination that got you here. 👏

For those of you fortunate enough to be heading off to university — especially those moving away from the area — don’t forget your JKS family! 🥋

Speak to your instructor, and we’ll do our best to help you find a JKS karate club near your new university. Your karate journey doesn’t have to stop just because you’ve moved away. 💪

Your knowledge, passion, and commitment to preserving the highest standards of JKS karate are appreciated by all who have had the privilege to learn from your teachings.

JKS Wales Annual Dan Grading

This weekend saw the JKS Wales Annual Dan Grading, and we would like to congratulate all those who were successful in achieving the next step on their karate journey:

🥋 Beau Parker-Cribb
🥋 Reuben Callender
🥋 Michael Rowland
🥋 Luke Roper
🥋 Dale Jackman
🥋 Samantha Summerhayes

Your hard work, dedication and perseverance have paid off. Enjoy the achievement—you've earned it.

For those who didn't quite make it this time, keep your heads up. Take on board the feedback you have been given, continue to train hard, and come back stronger. A black belt is not simply awarded; it must be earned through commitment, determination and continuous improvement.

Success is not measured by how many times you pass, but by how many times you get back up and keep going.

It has been a fantastic week of training again at the MSK dojos so far. We are at the Brecon dojo for classes as usual in the am. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Oss 🥋
