BLOOPER - unfortunately Sensei Jack can't always terrify the opposition, even when it's just a ball! Club isn't always serious, gotta have laughs to learn from - like balance when kicking!

BUSY ON THE MAT - plenty of action in the last few weeks, post-gradings means less stress and more chance for us to learn something different on the mats - we have instructors with over 40 years of experience to impart!
