Fundraising project news!

GREAT NEWS!!!

We are pleased to announce that after searching for more suppliers for the mats in an effort to to get a better price, we had a stroke of luck and found a supplier that has the mats we wanted at a much lower price. So much so that when we have reached our target, we will be able to buy DOUBLE the amount of mats! Yes! That’s 200 mats we’re going to be ordering once we reach our target!
This means that South Ockendon and Grays dojos will now get matted out in the next few weeks.

“So why not just get 100 mats?”
The mats are being imported from overseas (hence the lower cost) and have to be collected by freight courier. Our long term goal has always been to get each of our dojos matted so now we are able to achieve this goal much earlier than planned.

We still need to reach our target as the total cost of the mats including freight costs is £2,286 (£6 more than our original target) so please keep sending in your sponsorship for all the riders who took part in the Inter-Dojo Bike Ride last Saturday by clicking the link below or in your local class.

OSU!

For safety, young ones can only partake in the 3rd and 4th stages of the ride. Adults can do the whole thing! Go on! You know you want to!

National Squad make their mark

Team SRK are joined by club mascot Yoshi for a photo with all of their trophies won on the day.

Three young students from our National Squad managed to win gold, silver and bronze medals in the AMA Southern Open Karate Championships held in Clacton-on-Sea on Sunday 14th April

Emma Ludkins, 10, brother Tommy, 9 from South Ockendon and Adam Baglin, 10 from Chelmsford, beat over 20 other competitors in the 4th Kyu and below junior division for kata to secure first, second and third placings. In addition to this, Emma also secured an additional 2nd place in the girls kumite division.

Chief instructor Sensei Richard Hang Hong said;

“They have all worked incredibly hard and its great to see it pay off at events such as these. The team spirit in the squad is fantastic, and special mention must be made of our youngest and newest member Megan Homer, who at just 8 years old won her first trophy for kumite today. She only started competing last month and this was only her second time in a tournament so this was quite an achievement for her. Her parents who were watching the entire day have been very encouraging and supportive and I’m sure they are extremely proud of her success too.”

The rest of the 12 strong squad kept up the good work and brought home 15 trophies in total. Richard Hang Hong won Bronze in the Men’s Black Belt Kata, following straight into the Mixed Open Black Belt Kata event and narrowly missed out on Gold but secured a Silver trophy. Fellow Wickford students Zoe Nolan (11yrs) and Connor Frost (12yrs) both whom had just graded to brown belt in March, won Bronze and Silver in their respective kata and kumite divisions. Chelmsford’s Martin Lawrence, 2nd Dan won Bronze in the men’s -75kg kumite, as well as winning Gold in Team Kata with Samuel Parker (Tilbury) and Sensei Richard. 16 year old black belt Jade Green from South Ockendon also had success with a Bronze win for Kata.
