🥋 SENIOR KARATE GRADING RESULTS 🥋

A fantastic afternoon at Kaizen Martial Arts Academy as six of our Senior Shotokan Karate students successfully took the next step on their karate journey.

A huge congratulations to:

🔴 Keaton Airth - 9th Kyu, Red Belt
🔴 Natalie Poole - 9th Kyu, Red Belt
🟠 Dominic Bower - 7th Kyu, Orange Belt
🟠 Alexandra Leblanc - 7th Kyu, Orange Belt
🔵 Heidy Monteiro - 5th Kyu, Blue Belt
🔵 Jack Green - 5th Kyu, Blue Belt

Every new belt represents hours of training, repetition, determination and improvement. You should all be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved today. 👏

Grading days aren’t only about passing. Sometimes the result doesn’t go the way we hoped - and that’s part of the journey too. For those who didn’t quite make the grade today, keep pushing forward, keep training and keep improving each day. A setback isn’t the end of the journey; it’s an opportunity to come back stronger.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR DAN GRADES 🙏

I’d also like to say a massive thank you to our Dan Grades who gave up their time today to support, encourage and help assess our students.

True Karate is about giving back to those who come after us. The knowledge and experience we gain throughout our own journey isn’t ours to keep - it’s there to be passed on to the next generation of Karateka.

Thank you for continuing to support our students and helping them along their own path. 🥋

🥈 SILVER AT THE GREAT BRITAIN JUJITSU NATIONALS! 🥈

A massive congratulations to Bailey Kemp, representing our Freestyle Jiu Jitsu discipline at Kaizen Martial Arts Academy, who achieved an incredible Silver Medal in his first-ever competition at the Great Britain Jujitsu Nationals in Wolverhampton! 👏

Competing in the U16 69kg category, Bailey stepped onto the competitive mat for the very first time and showed exactly what he is capable of.

To put his performance into perspective, Bailey’s final opponent was an extremely experienced competitor with 26 competitive gold medals to his name, as well as experience competing at European and World Championship events.

Despite that difference in competitive experience, Bailey held his own and gave an excellent account of himself.

For a first competition, on a national stage, that is a fantastic achievement.

Everyone at Kaizen is beyond proud of you, Bailey. 🥋

🥈 First competition.
🇬🇧 National level.
💪 Silver medal.

A very bright future ahead and we have a feeling this is only the beginning.

Saturday Development Sessions 🥋

What a fantastic morning of training at Kaizen Martial Arts Academy.

Our Black Belt Session was followed by our Brown Belt Development Session, with students pushing themselves for a full two hours of focused training. We covered : kihon, kata, ippon kumite, reaction, rooting, timing, technical refinement and fitness.

There were no shortcuts today. Everyone worked hard, dug deep, supported each other and showed the attitude that real martial artists are built on. Development isn’t about staying comfortable - it’s about challenging yourself, learning from mistakes and leaving the dojo better than when you walked in.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended. Your commitment to improving your karate, even on a Saturday morning, speaks volumes. Keep that mindset, keep training, and the results will come.

Discipline. Growth. Respect. Community.

🏆 SHOTOKAN KARATE – STUDENT OF THE QUARTER 🏆
April – June 2026

A huge congratulations to our latest Student of the Quarter winners:

🥋 Junior Winner: Dorian Kosicki
🥋 Senior Winner: Dominic Bower

Both students have been recognised by our instructor team for consistently demonstrating the qualities that make a true martial artist.

Their certificates read:

“As voted by his instructors in recognition of his outstanding energy, enthusiasm, effort, commitment, behaviour, respect, and continued improvement.

Keep pushing forward and continue to embody these qualities on your martial arts journey.”

Every quarter, our Dan Grades vote independently against a set of strict criteria. The standard across the academy continues to rise, making the decision increasingly difficult each time. We are incredibly fortunate to have so many hardworking, respectful, and dedicated students who embody the values of Kaizen both on and off the mats.

To Dorian and Dominic – congratulations on a well-deserved achievement. Continue leading by example and inspiring those around you.

To everyone else, keep training hard. Every lesson is another opportunity to improve, and your commitment never goes unnoticed.

Congratulations once again! 👏

A fantastic morning on the mats at Kaizen Martial Arts Academy.

We were honoured to welcome Arthur Sheldon Sensei (10th Dan) from Dragon Martial Arts Centre, along with Becky Hallam Sensei, for a private training session.

It was a brilliant opportunity to share knowledge, ideas and experiences, exploring techniques from different styles of karate, performing a variety of kata, and even learning some new ones. Days like these are a great reminder that no matter your grade or experience, there is always something new to learn.

Meanwhile, Paul Bell Sensei and Becky Hallam Sensei were hard at work working through a tremendous range of S.D.F. techniques, exchanging knowledge and refining skills.

We rounded off the morning with a well-earned lunch together at the Bankhouse Inn in Pudsey.

A huge thank you to Arthur Sensei and Becky Sensei for making the journey to visit us. We truly value the friendships we have built within the martial arts community and appreciate every opportunity to continue learning and developing together.

Kaizen (改善) means continuous improvement - and today was another perfect example of that philosophy in action.
