Fascinating news! Multiple studies point to a brain performance boost, and that martial arts practice – specifically karate – is linked with better performance on a divided attention task. Read below:

We are all aware that exercise generally has many benefits, such as improving physical fitness and strength. But what do we know about the effects of specific types of exercise? Researchers have already shown that jogging can increase life expectancy, for example, while yoga makes us happy.

Good afternoon, everyone!
Apologies for the short notice - unfortunately tonight's session has been cancelled as no instructor is available.
The room is still booked from 6 to 10, so you're available to practice kata/kihon, but strictly no one to take the lead!
Please also notice the cupboard in the Upper Hall is now empty.
If you want to train, the next session will be at Elephant & Castle on Thursday night!
Sessions at SC will resume next Monday.
