I’m sure you’re all itching to get back in the dojo and burn off those calories from your Christmas and New Year celebrations, I know I really need too with the amount of cake, chocolate and sweets you guys gave me!

The first week of classes will be geared to getting back on track with your fitness so be prepared, bring a drink and a towel and whatever you do DON’T MISS IT!!!

As usual, all Bronze and Silver members get some bonus lessons to use throughout January. Bronze members get 2 extra classes to use anytime throughout January, Silver members get 4 extra classes. Any missed lessons that would normally have been carried over from December are replaced by these bonus lessons.

Event dates will be going up here and on the iCloud calendar soon and we’ll be setting up many of the Facebook event pages too so be sure to note them down and respond to any invites coming your way.

See you in the dojo next week!

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

Tournament Officials

We kindly ask all attending clubs to provide at least 2 officials to help out for kata/kumite judging and table officiating, 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.

Any questions please call Richard Hang Hong on 07899 827 476 or email [email protected]

Caroline, Richard and Martin in Japan — Sensei Richard, Sensei Caroline and Sensei Martin in Omagari

SRK Chief instructor Sensei Richard Hang Hong, along with Sensei Caroline Hang Hong and Sensei Martin Lawrence recently returned from Japan where they trained with Hanshi Seiichi Fujiwara (8th Dan) in Omagari at the Goju Ryu Karatedo Seiwakai week long seminar and numerous karate masters in Beppu, Oita at the Japan Karatedo Federation (JKF) Goju Kai seminar.

Sensei Richard and Sensei Caroline both attempted their gradings at each seminar and we are pleased to announce that they were successful in each of their respective tests. Sensei Richard passed his next grade of Yondan (4th Dan) and Sensei Caroline had her Nidan (2nd Dan) grade ratified.

Congratulations from all of us at Seitou Ryu Karate on their grading success.
