As 2024 draws to a close, we're excited to share all the amazing achievements and updates from the past month. From competition triumphs to grading successes, and plans for the New Year, it's been a fantastic end to a busy year. 

British Champs Success

Six competitors took on the challenge of the British Championship—our final competition of the year. Congratulations to Matt, Olivia, Emily, Caden, Brody, and Ethan, who all performed exceptionally well in this tough competition!

 

Special congratulations to our medal winners:

  • Caden: Bronze in Sparring

  • Ethan: Silver in Patterns and Bronze in Sparring

Well done to everyone who competed!

 

 

Colour Belt Grading Success

Last month, 14 students participated in the final colour belt grading of the year, and all passed with flying colours! Congratulations to our newest promotions:

 

9th Kup: Ivy, Carolina, Rafael, Henry
8th Kup: Luna, Lucy
7th Kup: Sarah
6th Kup: Ela, Alara
5th Kup: Maggie, Zosia, Joshua
3rd Kup: Erin, Cameron

 

A special shoutout to Carolina, Luna, Lucy, Sarah, and Alara for achieving ‘A Grade’ passes—amazing work!

 

We also celebrated a significant milestone as Meg and Evie were awarded their Black Belt certificates by Grand Master Dew himself. Congratulations on this incredible achievement!

 

 

 

Senior Grade Training

We held our first senior grade training session last week, and it was a resounding success! Thank you to everyone who attended.

Starting in the New Year, we’ll aim to run these sessions during the second hour of the last Monday of each month, as long as there are no scheduling conflicts with competitions or gradings. The first one in the New Year will be earlier in the month, as we did not have one in December and the calendar gets busy towards the end of the January!

 

Please note: Our first senior grade training session of 2025 will therefore take place on Monday, January 6th (7:00 - 8:00pm).

 

 

Club Kit Order

Our latest club kit order has been sent to the embroidery company. We expect to collect the items during the week commencing December 9th, so keep an eye out for updates on when your kit will be ready for pick-up.

This is a fantastic opportunity for all students to showcase their skills, celebrate our shared legacy, and be part of a historic occasion. We’d like as many of you as possible to compete, even if it's just to compete in patterns to gain some experience & confidence.

 

Important notes for competitors and spectators:

  • Entry Deadline: Tuesday, December 17th.

  • Spectator Tickets (£10): Must be purchased for any parent/guardian who wishes to spectate as they will not be available for purchase on the day. These will sell out, so please be sure to add them onto the entry form if required!
