Quiet classes today but a good opportunity to focus on what's needed to work on ahead of the next grading. Thanks as always to Sensei Rebecca and Andrew for their help.
A reminder that there are no classes at Hamsteels next week due to the bank holiday.
We're already on the road for a wee holiday to Scotland! Enjoy the bank holiday week! 😊

A quiet little tigers class but some good work on turns and kicks. Tigers class had a new starter and one returning who did really well, also working on kicks. Seniors worked on a bit of everything, with some fun on the mats - Olivia brought 3 of her friends as new starters who all did really well with great enthusiasm!

A reminder that Hamsteels will be closed on Monday 31st August due to the bank holiday.

Good classes tonight, with a new teen starter who did really well! Working towards grading in most classes, and slips have started to go out. I've given homework for most students to make sure they practice at home in the coming weeks, particularly Kata - we have video online of all kata that can be accessed by our members with a password that came in the membership pack. Please drop us a message if you need it 👍🏻
