Tonight was our last night training for the year. There were only 4 on the mat tonight but that is very common to happen after a grading day
We covered quite a lot tonight and even started on the basics of Bonkai.
Congratulations to our 3 new junior Sensei’s Isaac, Elwood and Milan, who passed their grading on Sunday after a very tough day.
Also congratulations to Dustin who was promoted to Green Belt Red tip and to Lucy and Brooklyn who were promoted to Yellow Belt Red Tip.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing everyone next year.

We had 8 warriors on the floor tonight. As grading is this Sunday the 7th of December, content tonight focused on grading katas, stances, blocks, punches, etc.
Good luck to the 6 students who are grading on Sunday especially the 3 boys who will be going for their Junior Black Belts. The other students will be going for their Green Belt Red Tip and 2 going for Yellow Belt Red Tip.
Next Monday the 8th of December will be the last training night for the year.
I would personally like to thank everyone for their support this year to myself and the Jin Ryu Kan Bingara Branch.
I would also like to thank Shihan Jed for his support and expertise this term.
And last but not least, Kyoshi Nick King who started me and believed in me to commence my martial arts journey from a very nervous white belt many, many years ago to now a 4th Dan Black Belt. Who would have thought ? Without Nick’s support and encouragement, i would not be where I am today. I am eternally grateful.

Tonight we had 8 warriors on the floor. We had 3 yellow belts, 2 green belts and 3 brown belt black tips. Shihan Jed Leggett took all the students through basic drills and moves to start the night off and then we broke into Kata.
With only 3 more Monday nights until grading, we will be concentrating on stances, basic’s such as round house kicks, front kicks, upper and lower blocks and then of course the all important Kata. All students are expected to know their grading Kata plus all the katas below that level.
See you all next week.
Sensei David
