Sensei Gary is teaching at this years biggest international Gasshuku! Anyone from Scotland wishing to go please let sensei know.

We are still over two months away from the early bird deadline and just over 5 months until the actual event, yet the Asian Pacific Gasshuku has already attracted members from many different countries! Will you join us in November in Australia and add to the list?? https://australiakarate.com/asian-pacific-gasshuku

Hi all, what a great weekend!

I just wanted to say that I’m very proud of all my students that graded at the weekend. The training on the Saturday was long and tough and the gradings were even harder but you all pushed through, done your best and all passed your grades!

I can’t express how proud I am of each and every one of you, it takes guts not only to do your grade infront of the panel but even just stepping up to the floor takes courage.

Well done everyone. Can’t wait to see you all with your new belts and tabs this week.

Sensei Gary

Some things to do in Holland during the European Gasshuku. Anyone else interested in going let me know. 🥋🙂👍

Combine the European Gasshuku with a holiday in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands has surprisingly much to offer! A wide variety of experiences and destinations await you.

We have highlighted a few suggestions for you:

**ISLANDS**

Five islands, five times the enjoyment! The combination of the open horizon, the endless sky above the Wadden Sea, and the unique transition between mudflats and sea makes a visit to the Wadden Islands a truly special experience.

**WINDMILLS**

The Dutch have been keeping the water at bay for more than 750 years. At Kinderdijk, you can discover how the Netherlands has managed to live below sea level for centuries. Take a boat tour past the iconic windmills, meet the millers, and explore the inside of the mills. It’s a fascinating place to learn about the history and future of Dutch water management.

**BEACH, DUNES AND SEE**

Located in the heart of the Dutch delta, Zeeland is the ultimate holiday destination. Vast beaches, unique nature reserves, and breathtaking panoramas create the perfect setting for relaxation and adventure. Zeeland is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, and food lovers alike. Explore historic towns, enjoy fresh local seafood, sample regional drinks, breathe in the fresh sea air, and completely unwind.

Demonstration at Kelty Community Centre to mark their 10th birthday! Thank you for the kids and parents who attended once again showing their support. We handed out flyers and hope we get some new students who want to join in. We finished off with a cake picnic outside as a thank you 🧁

Apologies for any inconvenience, all are welcome to attend classes on Wednesday and Friday for extra classes.
