SEASONS GREETINGS! ! !
Well it's that time of year again folks. What a fabulous party last night! Our xmas bash is always a great event but this one has to be one of the best ever. (photo's to follow!) Everyone has worked so hard this year, and the grades showed all that work. Well Done to everyone who passed and a special mention to Phill Noon and Neil Ellis who both successfully passed their Black grades Congratulations guys. Big thanks to Sifu Alex King for putting in all his energy into making sure you both had the knowledge as well as the physical understanding to pass. You are a credit to him. Well Done. The new Year is looking as busy as ever, and with new classes and changes all round it really promises to be a fantastic year. Thank you to everyone who has shared the last years ups and downs and still come out fighting, and a special thanks to all my Sifu's for your ongoing tireless efforts in training our up and coming students to the highest standards. I'm very proud of you all. Thank You. Wishing everyone a peaceful and relaxing festive season, Sifu.

CAMP UPDATE
Thanks to everyone who turned up and braved the true British summer weather with us at the weekend. Glad we were camping at a pub! Thanks to Martin for keeping us puddle free with his expert brushing techniques! Although it was wet and soggy friday and Saturday, Sunday faired a little better with sunshine and wind. The gazebo took a bit of a hammering and we'll need to replace it for next year, hopefully with one that dosn't leak through! but overall it was a great weekend. We will be back to our usual (earlier) weekend next year so we won't clash with a bank holiday and the Leeds festival again!
