Leadership Martial Arts - Swindon Orchid Vale

A quick reminder, there are no classes this evening due to the bank holiday.
See you Saturday 🥋👊

A huge congratulations to Zosia our Grading Award Winner.
"Good pad work and the loudest in class" Chief Master Marshall

We recently had our Coloured Belt grading.
It was great to see so many students achieve such great things.
Well done all, you were outstanding 👊

Here we go, Black Belt Dinner May 2026 🎉
The hard work has been done, let the celebrAtions begin 👊

Our very own Miss Simpson was awarded the Spirit of Excellence Belt 🎉 Congratulations Ma'am.
I didn't get to see much of the Junior grading as I was "eating ice cream" 😉 in that room all morning, but when I appeared, Master Marshall said how amazing Miss Simpson had been.
She then went into her own grading in the afternoon and smashed it like always 👊
I couldn't be shocked when I received the feedback because she is always such a role model and inspiration to our Junior students in every class and then works so hard in her own training.
You have earned and deserve every stitch of that belt Ma'am, the true spirit of excellence.

Did you guess what the nice surprise at the end of the grading was?

Black Belt Grading Post Part 2
So a week after Tech Testing and The Hill ALL Deps and Back Belts went on to absolutely smash their physical grading.
The Juniors were great right from the off and Master Danby echoed by Master Marshall said that the Adults was the best grading we've ever had.
Well done Team, keep up the great work, you did yourselves, your families and of course you School/Instructors proud 👊
And there was a very nice surprise at the end for a member of the Team, can you guess what it was?

As it looks like it’s going to be a warm week, T shirts are good to go from today. Just a reminder it must be an LMA one .
Full uniform if you are grading please .

On the Sunday Mr Vanes was up bright and early to take on The Hill! and he smashed it.
It was pretty cold out there and at times when things got hot, steam looked cool 😁

Wow! What a couple of weeks we've had!
Black Belt Grading started last weekend with Mr Vanes kicking us off with a very solid 3rd Degree Tech Testing, followed by Lewis with a beautifully technical 2nd Degree Tech Testing.
Mrs Allen passing her 4th Degree Requal in Staff Grading the following day and the Junior Black Belts bringing us home with a strong 1st Degree Tech Testing.
Well done all, you should be very proud.
