Excellent course with Shihan Thompson at Canons Karate Club today covering advanced Kata.

Great to see so many Karateka travelling from across London and the South coast, Dover & Lydd.

Good training!

On Thursday 19 May, Sensei Geovanny Sanchez Salazar, 5th Dan, organised another very successful Spring Gasshuku in his home town of Javea in the Costa Blanca. The weather throughout the weekend was between 28-31 Centigrade, which made training a bit hot, but very pleasant for pre- and post-training! Thursday evening consisted of a general course for all grades and many students from other styles attended. On Friday evening, many successful Shodan gradings took place, followed by a celebratory dinner at a local restaurant.

An excellent turn out at this weekend’s Gasshuku in Lydd. Quite a few students were going for their Shodan and Nidan, so training was intensified on the Saturday, with an excellent grading taking place late Saturday afternoon. The slightly damp weather on Saturday did not curb the enthusiasm for hard work, rewarded by glorious sunshine on Sunday! Many congratulations go to our new Shodans and Nidans!

Thanks to everyone who attended the 1 day course ran by Sensei Neville at Dover yesterday.

We covered many kata, kihon and self defense techniques.

Thank you to Mike and Sid for coming early and helping set up!
