Congratulations to this superstar. Charlotte passed her grading and is now the proud owner of a purple belt. Her knowledge of Hojo Undo is brilliant often knowing techniques way above her grade. This is probably down to all her families karate training. Even big sister Evelyn wanted a photo with her little sister too. Congratulations.

Let's get something straight right from the beginning. Dave here does not need karate. He is more than capable in handling himself in most situations. And yet he turns up on a Monday to train with us all and listen to my views on combat and Uechi. And this is one the reasons why I have so much respect for him. He chooses to learn a martial art that his family all do and he wants to be there to help and support them. Okay one day he might have to defend himself against other strong guys and it might help him fight better. But its his attitude to learning our style of karate that I respect. On to the next grade Dave. Well done on achieving your 2nd piece of little green ribbon. 🤣
You deserve it.

Another week, another great grading. Here we have Patrick who has been working really hard in achieving his purple belt. He has been sending me videos asking me to correct his form, asking important questions and ultimately working on improving himself every day, not just on karate days. All of this hard work has paid off and last Friday I awarded Patrick his purple belt. A job well done Patrick.

Congratulations to Theodore and Arthur on completing their yellow belt grading. Despite the heat and trying to kill off their teacher with horrible stretching exercises they performed very well. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

At the weekend myself and a few others travelled to Andover for another training session with Sensei Terry Donoghue. Training was difficult but very much worth my time. Lots to practice as always with these sessions. Thanks go to Terry and to my training partner for the majority of the afternoon Alberto for teaching me and ultimately for their patience in going over old ground. Thanks to Georgina for driving the 10,000 mile journey and thanks to Dave Harris and Lawrence King for giving me some pointers in the right direction. Always great to meet up with Rachel and everyone even if i don't get the chance to train with each other. And finally thanks has to go to Dave Bonthuys who hosted the event in his spectacular Dojo. Very much appreciated.

On Monday we had the pleasure of having Sensei Ron Ship train with us. Uechi Ryu wouldn't not even have made it to the United Kingdom when it did if it wasn't for Ron. I for one would have definitely not be training in uechi as Ron was my instuctors sensei. Some of the higher grades who i still train with still thank Ron for being their sensei too back in the day. Despite having health issues he still managed to teach the class and check our form. Everyone appreciated the effort made and you are more than welcome back to our club anytime you want.
