Important Announcement from Derek Stockham Sensei:

After much consideration, I have decided to step down as Branch Leader of JKS Wales, effective January 31, 2026. It has been an immense privilege to lead JKS Wales since its founding in 2014, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust and support from everyone involved.

I’ve discussed this decision with Yamaguchi Sensei, and I’m thankful for his support. While I’m stepping down, I remain committed to the values of JKS and will continue to contribute in other ways.

I want to thank all members and instructors for their dedication, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together. The foundation is strong, and I’m confident JKS Wales will continue to grow and thrive.

3) Each month we draw one winner on or around the 2nd Saturday or each month, using wheelofnames.com
4) The winner gets half of the pot - The other half goes to JKS Wales to help with future events

This is a very small way to give back and help JKS Wales get bigger and better and compete alongside the bigger nations.

Each participant will be emailed/Texted monthly to announce the winner and the amount won. We will video the draw for transparency and evidence.
