Thanks to everyone that supported the Moorways Sports Village and Water Park playday.

It was a fantastic event and we loved the amount of people that engaged with our "have a go at karate" stand.
Even the mayor of Derby took part !

The event looks like its going to get bigger every year.

We had a fantastic time last night doing a Karate Workshop for Derby Ukrainie camp.
What an enthusiastic group they were!
Huge thanks to everyone from SDKA that came along to help
Judging by all the happy smiley faces, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
Don't forget we are doing another one next week, please book your place on the APP and note time change!
Thanks Again
