Autumn Grading
Just a couple of shots from tonight’s lower kyu grading.
White to Orange Belts.
Amazing atmosphere as always. Congratulations to all who graded.
Mother Club Closure
Last week marked the end of an era at St Peter and St Paul’s School.
Over 15 years ago we opened the first Ippon Karate Academy outside of our gym classes.
The foundation of the decision was to offer affordable Karate classes to everyone within the community and families of St Peter & St Paul’s parish.
Sadly, the school informed us they had made the decision to no longer rent the hall to outside hirer’s. This decision has unfortunately lead to us having to re locate our club outside of the parish.
So with a heavy heart today Saturday 31st August we closed the door for the final time at this school.
As our students and their families are the heart of our club we have sourced a new venue and as a club will make arrangements for any families who cannot easily travel to get to their classes.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday 2nd September at 6.15pm. We look forward to starting our new journey and continuing the IKA values of Family Loyalty and Respect.
Sensei Damian, Jason and Katie-Leigh.
