Congratulations to all of those that graded yesterday. I am incredibly proud of the two, Adam and Tamzin who got their karate shodans. They put on a fantastic display of what karate is all about, resilience, technical skill and effort. One very proud sensie. Thanks also to all of the team that make holding the gradings possible.

Thanks to the fundraising we did here at Ronin Budo, Dave Lee Soke has managed to purchase the device to help him with his mobility. He wants to thank everyone for their efforts and says it makes a huge difference for himself and his wife in terms of his mobility. Here are a few pictures of it and himself trying it out.

A new term for all our young ones. Keep them focussed on their goals through developing some good habits. Martial arts at Ronin Budo help do this. Respect for themselves and others, discipline through having a good approach to the ideas of fitness and healthy activity, and goal setting are just three of the many good habits that can be formed through Karate or Kickboxing. We also offer a range of activities for all ages to do some of the same.
