Huge congratulations to Jon on achieving his Brown Belt (3rd Kyu) ๐Ÿฅ‹๐Ÿ‘

He thought he was grading for purpleโ€ฆ but we pushed him for brown โ€” what an amazing achievement!

Jon has shown fantastic dedication to his karate, training consistently alongside his son Luke and always giving 100%. He works incredibly hard, pays attention to the smallest details, and is always striving to get things right.

One of the most rewarding things to see has been Jonโ€™s growth in confidence. From not wanting to demonstrate in front of the class, to now stepping up without hesitation โ€” itโ€™s become second nature!

A well-deserved milestone and a brilliant example of what hard work and perseverance can achieve. Keep it up, Jon ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”ฅ

Massive congratulations to Luke on achieving his 1st Dan Black Belt ๐Ÿฅ‹๐Ÿ‘

Once known as โ€œLittle Lukeโ€ โ€” not so little anymore! His journey started back in 2018, and since then heโ€™s shown incredible dedication, determination, and resilience.

Through every belt, every challenge, and every tough session, Luke never gave up and always pushed himself to improve.

This achievement is a true reflection of his hard work and commitment โ€” we couldnโ€™t be prouder.

Even better, from September Luke will be stepping into a new role as an Assistant Coach, helping guide and inspire our younger students as they begin their own journeys.

Well done, Luke โ€” a fantastic role model and a well-deserved Black Belt ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”ฅ

Huge congratulations to Emile Alexander Morant on achieving his Black Belt 2nd Dan! ๐Ÿฅ‹๐Ÿ‘

Emile has shown incredible dedication over the years, always giving 150% in every session. A true perfectionist, he is constantly striving to improve and never stops wanting to learn. His commitment and training ethic are second to none.

Not only is he a highly skilled martial artist, but he is also a pleasure to teach โ€” always humble, respectful, and a great example to others in the club.

Weโ€™re all incredibly proud of you, Emile. This is a fantastic achievement and very well deserved! ๐Ÿฅ‹๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ”ฅ

We are all so proud of you, Markโ€”this achievement is richly deserved. Hereโ€™s to the next chapter of your journey! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”ฅ
