Loughton Wado-Kai Karate Club instructor Sensei Jason Walton, 4th Dan, has been awarded the prestigious Japanese martial arts title of Renshi.

Jason attended England Wado-Kai’s annual Autumn Course in Lyme Regis on 12 and 13 September, joining karate practitioners and instructors for a weekend of training.

At the conclusion of the four-hour main training course, Jason was among a number of senior instructors formally awarded the Japanese Shōgō title of Renshi.

Renshi is a respected Japanese martial arts teaching title awarded in recognition of a practitioner’s seniority, technical knowledge, teaching ability, character and contribution to their martial art.

Jason has been involved in karate for 40 years this year and runs Loughton Wado-Kai Karate Club at Roding Valley High School every Wednesday evening.

The club welcomes beginners of all ages and abilities, with newcomers invited to attend their first lesson free of charge and experience traditional Wado-Kai karate under the guidance of an experienced instructor.

Congratulations to one of my students who successfully graded to brown belt yesterday at the England Wado-Kai Late Summer Course under examination by England Wado-Kai Chief Instructor, Sensei Barry Wilkinson 8th Dan. He will now be my Senpai (assistant) for the club.

We have had a good weekend over in Sandhurst at our England Wado-Kai Summer course with a turn-out of almost 50 students. We had a Dan Grading for one of our associations brown belts and he passed after taking a written theory examination followed by a practical examination under scrutiny from 2 of our senior Instructors and our associations chief instructor, Sensei Barry Wilkinson 8th Dan. For those other students that also passed, congratulations and to those that failed, this is just a small step-back and there will be more opportunities in the future and this will help you grown even better as a karateka.

Finally got round to framing the ink and watercolour sketch that I have done of me doing some karate in a Ryokan in Hakone, Japan, 2023. (Excuse the glare of me in the glass!).

Very proud of these two students of mine. Having competed in their first ever karate competition they came home with 5 medals between them. Having trained this evening they wanted to show off their medals to my other students, and they have both said they can’t wait to compete again!

Yesterday we had a fantastic day at the England Wado-Kai Karate Invitational Kata Competition. Loughton’s instructor, Sensei Jason was part of the Judge/Referee delegation and our club had 2 students enter the competition. Between the 2 of them they have brought home 5 medals to Loughton. We have trained over the last couple of months for this day and all their hard work in training has paid off. The competition had competitors from England, Wales, Belgium, Hungary and Austria so there was some strong competition.
