On Saturday 28th February the Club held a special training session to celebrate our Senior Instructor Ustad Arun Dhaliwal's 20th Anniversary of being awarded his Black Belt. Many of our dear friends and colleagues joined us to take part is a great training session, where Arun took all the students and black belts through various aspects of the Art Form. It was wonderful to see our colleagues Logan, Dee, Sohail, Craig and Ustad Aruna Weerasooriya (4th Degree) who travelled all the way from Worcester, Dirk and Ustadan Natalie Petzel (3rd Dregree) who came over from North Nottingham, Ustad Mat White (3rd Degree) who is a big part of the Sheffield Club but travels down from North Yorkshire and Ustad Neal Shegog (4th Degree) who travelled up from Northamptonshire, along with some 20+ students and Black Belts from the Club. After training together for 2 hours, which flew by, we then went to the nearby HERD restaurant, which has Bavarian themed food and drink, and enjoyed each others company for another coupe of hours. It was fantastic to see so many people training together and socialising afterwards.

Congratulations again Arun from us all 🙏

Huge Congratulations to our very own Senior Instructor Ustad Arun Dhaliwal, as he and his fellow pictured colleagues were presented with their 1st Degree Blackbelt 20 Years ago.

Respect and Admiration from all your fellow students and colleagues from the Sheffield Club 🙏

Congratulations to Ustad David Breakwell who celebrated his 35th Blackbelt Anniversary.

David was awarded his Blackbelt alongside Ustad Rico Grewal and Ustadan Jackie Knight.

This is a landmark achievement which reflects his many years of dedication and support for the Art Form.

Please join us in congratulating this special individual.

Celebrating Two Special Milestones!

Fifty years ago, Ustad Pete Wasylko and Ustad Shindi Grewal embarked on their martial arts journey by joining the inaugural Goyararu class at the “Happy Return” in Nottingham.

In a touching speech, Pete reminisced about 1974, when an advert the size of a postage stamp drew 400 people. He also honored Master Dhaliwal with a bottle of vintage port enclosed in a beautifully engraved marquetry box.

In addition, we’re honoring Master Michael Newton, Ustads Dipak Gosrani, and Martin Foster for their 38 years of dedication since earning their prestigious Blackbelt Grades.

Please join us in congratulating these very special individuals for their significant contribution to the Art Form. They continue to serve as an inspiration to us all!

Congratulations to Master Bal Singh and Senior Ustad Pete Wasylko who celebrated their 44th Blackbelt anniversary.

These gentlemen are amazing ambassadors of the Art Form and serve as an example to us all.

Gentleman, we all wish you many good years to come .

We'd like to wish all our students, followers and fellow Tetsudo colleagues a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year 🙏

The Club's Black Belt Instructors found this year the most difficult in memory, to agree on our Student of the Year for 2025, as there were so many worthy candidates but in the end, we were unanimous as always in our final decision and this year it has been awarded to Jasmine Welsh 👌👍
