Club Events – Page 10 – Seitou Ryu Karate

With just under 8 weeks to go, time is ticking away for you to book your place at the Gasshuku Summer Training Camp on 5th-6th July in Hockley!

This is our main training event of the year and so should definitely not be missed!
It is open to all ages and grades and as well as being packed out with great training sessions both indoors and outdoors, there will be an open testing at the end for students to attempt 6th kyu (green belt) and above.
(There will be a test for attempting 8th kyu (yellow) & 7th kyu (orange) the week before at the South Ockendon dojo).

OPEN TESTING means that provided you have completed the minimum lessons and time on your current grade and you feel confident enough, you can put yourself forward to test.

Even if you’re not eligible to test, you can still come along and train for the weekend and pick up lots of information that will help to accelerate your karate to the next level.

Another reason not to miss out is that this year we have 3 people attempting Nidan (2nd Dan)! It’s a very tough test both physically and mentally so be sure to train alongside Caroline Hang Hong, Kim Mandy & Samuel Parker over the weekend and give them all of your support on the Sunday.
The last time we saw anyone attempt this was over 2 years ago and even the opportunity to get to test for this level in Seitou Ryu is not given lightly so please do your best to support them.

Full details can be found on the Facebook event page or you can download the information pack and booking form here.

See you all there!

The event will run according to WKF (2013) rules with some slight modifications, although please refer to the information pack for full details including compulsory equipment for kumite.

For those on Facebook, here is a link to the event page where you can get up to the minute information https://www.facebook.com/events/1457505944467458

The day will run according to the format of our previous tournaments: 4 mat areas (all 8m x 8m), with individual and team kata events will be on in the first half, followed by individual kumite events in the second half.

DE Photo will be taking pictures which will be available to purchase from them throughout the day and online after the event.

The SRK Café also will be open once more, providing plenty of tasty and refreshing food and drinks available to purchase throughout the day.

To help make the day run smoother we kindly ask all attending clubs to provide at least 2 officials to help out, but if you can provide more, this would be even better of course. If there are plenty of officials between all the clubs, then we can rotate them throughout the day so they’re not overworked and to keep the judging as fair and unbiased as possible for the competitors. Officials will be provided with lunch plus free tea & coffee throughout the day for their services. There is a section on the entry form for you to write down your officials details. We thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please email me or call me on 07899 827 476 otherwise I look forward to seeing you and your students on 11th May.

Kind regards

Richard Hang Hong
