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!

Chelmsford Dojo Closure

It is with deep sadness and regret that we must announce that due to rising hall hire costs and low attendance, the Chelmsford dojo will be closing in January 2016. This has not been an easy decision to make but the dojo has been running at a loss since we moved from our previous location earlier this year and the shortfall in rent has been subsidised by the other dojos during this time. And with the recent loss of 2 of it’s members we simply cannot afford to keep it running any longer.

Thank you to everyone for the years of dedication to the Chelmsford dojo and to the club as a whole. The final class will be on Saturday 19th December, after which the dojo will close.

Grading Success in Japan for SRK instructors

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.
