Students in the club have been making excellent progress in recent
months; therefore we have decided to schedule a date for the next
grading. This will be for all students who have been training for more
than 3 months and will take place on Sunday 11th December at
Abbeydale Community Centre at the following times:
Little Ninjas – 12:45 to 14:00 (to start at 13:00)
Seniors – 14:00 to 16:00
It is essential that
students arrive for the grading on time to ensure you are ready as
anyone who arrives late will not be permitted to undertake the grading –
No Excuses. The fee for the grading is £20 and will be taken on the day.
Students are also reminded that current belts must be worn on the day of
the grading. Students will be assessed from now until the date of the
grading as to whether they are ready to undertake it, if they are not
they will be told by myself or Daryl and will not participate on the
day. As most of you will know I will not enter any student into a
grading unless I am confident they have the ability to pass. Can I ask
all parents to enforce that discipline and effort are key on grading day
as a grading is essentially a test.
Christmas Holidays- As most of you will know we do not train on
Bank Holidays or between Christmas and New Year. This year we will be
closed on 26th and 28th of December and the 1st
of January.
On another note as you can see the Little Ninja classes are now at
maximum capacity therefore parents are reminded that if you miss a
months training without payment we cannot guarantee availability on
return.
I will also be placing
a kit order on the 14th of November where you can order
trousers, t-shirts, gloves, pads or any other kit you may require.
Orders must be placed and paid for by this date otherwise you will have
to wait for the next order. Students are reminded that all kit should be
ordered through the club in order to ensure quality and compliance. Kit
prices can be found here:

Both Daryl and I have recently started competing again and we will be
regularly attending tournaments. If you are interested in competing then
please speak to either Daryl or myself and we will be happy for students
to come with us if we think the tournament is appropriate for the
individual. As you may be aware there are different levels of tournament
and as a rookie it wouldn’t be wise to enter some of the competitions
that we will be entering therefore we will be able to find some smaller
ones for anyone who is interested.
