Following several mini waves of fresh new students, this has now put us up to capacity.

If you are interested you can still reach out to us and we can put you on a waiting list. And advise an approximate wait time.

We do still have some space in our teenage/adults class! So get in while you can!!

Last night was our last class of the summer holidays! Thanks to all those who have still been coming along. First week back at school next week, trying to settle back down into those routines.

Great effort from the kids class last night, a slightly smaller class but gave us chance to introduce them to sparring! Which seemed to be a great hit! So you can expect to seem more of that in our classes. For this students will need to think about getting their own hand pads, I roughly have around 7 pairs of club ones that students can borrow for those that don’t already have them. I’ll post some information regarding the options avaliable.

Great turn out in our adults class last night!! Actually had more in the adults class than we did in the kids! Including two guests, Georgia (friend of our other Georgia!) who used to train with us in our braintree class! And Isabel! They are also uni students, but really enjoyed the class so will likely be back whenever they are back from uni! Georgia and Georgia were in Croatia last week, and snapped this picture of them doing a high five! With their feet! Great work! It might have even been this that spurred on Georgia to come along to our class! (Also see a throw back picture to a class 6 years ago with both the georgias!

Feeling truly blessed! Our little sudbury karate club has just passed its first year anniversary!! Can’t believe it’s been a year already! And on the other hand I can’t believe how far you have all come in that year it’s been amazing to watch you grow and be awesome!

We marked the occasion last night in class doing more of our fun activities but still with a little bit of karate! Then at the end of class we handed out some awards! 8 students got their first year award! So from our original group that started a year ago, 8 from that group are still with us!! Dayna, Bella, Amelia, Lincoln, Hudson, Rowan, Ivy and Ayla. Then we also done some attendance awards, based on the number of classes attended in this first year. Everyone got a certificate with their attendance, and then in joint 3rd we had Dayna and Ivy with 44 classes! In 2nd place with 46 classes was Bella! And in first place with 47 classes!! Was Ayla!! This was out of a possible 48 classes! So well done all!!

Despite our teenage and adults class only starting earlier this year, we still celebrated the milestone in class by learning some basics with nunchaku and escrima sticks! Also worth a mention is Henry transitioning from the kids class into this later class! And fitting it well and keeping up with the adults!

Even though this is the first year of Sudbury IJR Karate. The club has been around a lot longer! So I would also like to give a thanks to some long standing students that used to be part of the braintree club, and come along to help out with the kids class! James who has been with us for 8 years! And Georgia who has been with us for 9 years!

Another thanks to the parents for supporting the club and bringing your kids along. Thanks to the students that come along and give it your all. And a thanks to our equipment supplier Blitz Sport for suppling us with uniforms, belts and more, even kindly donated equipment to help us keep our classes interesting!

And then my last thanks to my family and home support system. Who helps make this all possible!
