ANNOUNCEMENT
After a long discussion between myself and Jaxon, there has been a lot of back and forth and it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to close the club.
The lack of students has unfortunately no longer made things viable.
As i write this message I have been reflecting on my many years at the club, I started back when I was 14 years old and its crazy to think that I have been a part of Enso-Ryu longer than I havent.
Now 30 years old I am forever grateful to all the friends I have made along my journey, many of which I know are friends for life. Starting out as a young teenager I personally know how much the club has helped shape me into the man I am today and I feel blessed to have been in a position to pass my knowledge on to my students.
I would also like to say a special thank you to Sensei Ian Woolston for all the years of teaching, without you we wouldnt have made it as far as what we did and the club would have closed a long time ago. I know Sensei Ian started his journey back in 1994, however the club had been founded prior to that under Sensei Hart and we have been training at the YMCA over 30 years now.
Our last session is going to be on the 15/7/25, we will hopefully and finally be getting James through his Green belt but, it would be great to have some old faces back on the mat once last time.
Thank you to everyone who has walked through our doors over the years, its been a privilege.
