April 2014 – Seitou Ryu Karate

Thank you to everyone who has taken and used our Co-op Community Cards recently.

A few people have told me that they’re not sure where they can use the cards so I have uploaded a list of participating stores to the club website. There are a huge amount of stores in Chelmsford so please click here to see them
As there are only a few surrounding the Wickford and Thurrock-based dojos I’ve added them below.

If you would like to help with the club’s fundraising then all you need to do is pick up a card in class (they’re free!) and swipe them at the till when you shop.

Open Mat Class — Open mat class for sparring, kata practice and any other training

Starting on Saturday 26th April, we will be running an open mat session at the Grays dojo (Belmont Village Hall). Map

This will primarily be a sparring based class but students can also attend to do other training too. E.g. Kata and/or bunkai practice, grading syllabus practice, pad work.

Unlike our regular classes, there will be no set session plan set by the instructor, just 2 areas to train; one for sparring practice, the other for anything else. There would of course be a sensei in the class to provide coaching when needed and to run the clock for sparring rounds but other than that you would be free to train as you wish.

The class will run for 1 hour, (12pm-1pm) with the regular class starting slightly earlier (10am-11.30am).

Free for Gold members and just £5 for Bronze/Silver members.
No age or grade limits, anyone can attend.

This class will run on a trial basis for one month on the following dates:

Saturday 26th April

Saturday 3rd May

Saturday 10th May

Saturday 17th May

If it is well attended throughout these sessions then we will make it a permanent class.

Any questions please call me on 07899 827 476 or leave a comment below.

Regards

Sensei Richard Hang Hong
