Practicing for our upcoming club tournament! The event that is the most talked about and enjoyed event on the calendar each year.

It’s at this event that students step out of their comfort zones and give something they may have never done before a go. All in the safety of their own club with all their friends and fellow students doing it alongside of them.

This event is where confidence grows, some win and some lose, but the atmosphere and experience are something that create memories that last a lifetime!

With all classes from our youngest to oldest starting to practice over the last few weeks, there’s some great competition ahead! Keep up the great work everyone and we cannot wait to have you along!

More details and timetables for the event will be available after we have collected all the registration forms 😊😊😊

We are back on the mats and ready for a whole new term ahead in our much loved community hall, that we have spent the last few weeks giving it a bit of a TLC! We hope you all love the changes we have made.

This term we will focus on syllabus and competition training ahead of our club tournament in November, which we cannot wait to see everyone in action!

Last week saw our members go head to head with a Kenbu Sports Day to remember!

The green team took the win….. but the fun was never ending throughout the day. Perfect weather for it too and lots of laughs were had.

Thank you to all families and friends who joined us on the day and either took part or watched from the shade around the park.

Next year we will go bigger and better again! 🥳🥳🥳

Massive thank you as always to Shidoshi Sinead for planning and running the whole day for everyone and to Ms McVicar for making a surprise visit all the way from Torquay!

Saturdays ladies only class worked hard this week on some of the basics and fundamentals of Kenpo Karate.

Of course we went from basics to a tangent of discussion around self defence and weapons …. But that’s why we love our ladies group! Eager to learn more each week and love any opportunity for a good chat.

If you are a lady aged between 16-100 years old and would like to come along and say hello, please send us a message. We would love to meet you.

Don’t let the world tell you that you’re:

Too old to start martial arts 👵🏻
- Our current oldest student started at 70 years old!

Too unfit 🏋️‍♀️
- Fitness is not needed, but you will feel stronger for coming along and doing some light exercise each week.

That it’s not for girls 👧
- Men love for us to believe we can’t do something. Prove them wrong like many of our current world champion female students have!

Too shy 🙈
- Being shy is a huge strength to have, even our head instructor is shy, but it is those who learn to use that to their advantage that are the strongest people!

No confidence 😬
- If you have never done martial arts, how could you be confident at it? Come along we will show you all you need to know and in no time at all watch your confidence flourish!

We all have potential within us to do something new! Come have a free taster session with us and let us change your mindset and show you what you’re capable of.

We cannot wait to hear from you! 👊🏻💚👊🏻
