DEIGHTON GATES SUMMER FAIR

Karate is an ideal sport for women because it provides an excellent form of stress release. It also teaches self-defence while providing a full-body workout. Karate is a great way to lose or maintain a healthy weight, with most classes consisting of aerobic, stretching and toning activities.

A FANTASTIC NIGHT!

Last night the whole club had a fantastic night of training with 2 sessions with Sensei Frank Brennan. Sensei Brennan is a great teacher and last night stressed the ‘basics’ of karate which are the foundation of good technique.

At Wetherby Karate Club we are keen to bring in top class instructors who benefit our students’ progression.

Last night was not only hugely enjoyable but also very thought provoking.

Wetherby Karate Club are now committed to bringing Shotokan back to Wetherby and we would be delighted to hear from anyone who has previously trained in this style – or in any other style of Karate or martial art. We are also keen to introduce new students, young and old, to this fascinating art which has such a rich heritage in Wetherby.

We train up to 3 times a week in the centre of Wetherby at the Town Hall.
if you’re interested in coming back to Karate or thinking of taking it up we’d love to hear from you. Please Call Martin on 07753 244638, email [email protected] or visit https://wetherbykarateclub.co.uk/contact/

Proud Sensei and proud mums!

Last weekend, 3 of our young students – Bella, Will and Seb – competed in the KUGB 59th National Championshups in Nottingham. They all competed in both Kata and Kumite.
No silverware on this occasions but a great opportunity to gain competition experience and practice what we learn in the dojo week in week out.
All these 3 are due to take their Black Belt grading later this year and taking part in a national competition was great preparation for this next step.

High Quality instruction is a must in karate.
At Wetherby Karate Club we like to invite highly qualified guest instructors to assist with student development.
Coming to the club tomorrow evening we have Sensei Caroline McGrath (6th Dan). Sensei McGrath competed for many years at national and international level as part of the KUGB England squad.
Visiting instructors always bring their own ideas and techniques which can be so important in triggering that ‘light bulb moment’ when things really come together.
We are looking forward to giving Sensei Caroline a warm Wetherby welcome!

Next Monday we are very pleased to welcome Sensei Frank Brennan to the club.
Sensei Brennan is head of the Karate Union of Great Britain and a world class instructor.
At Wetherby Karate Club we are very proud to be active members of the Karate Union of Great Britain which is the UK’s longest established (1966) Shotokan organisation.
This gives all our students many benefits including :
1. Independent and fully accredited grading from a qualified examiner meaning grades are recognised nationally and internationally.
2. Access to all sorts of courses at reasonable prices and in some cases free to continually improve our Karate.
3. A feeling of being part of a larger Karate ‘family’.
4. Access to some of the best Shotokan Karate instructors in the country.
If you are a new starter, some of these benefits may not be immediately apparent but at WKC we believe being part of this Karate ‘family’ has a direct impact on your training and karate development form the first time you step foot into the dojo.
Come and join us for a free Taster session to start your Karate journey!!
For more information Call Martin on 07753 244638, email [email protected] visit https://wetherbykarateclub.co.uk/contact/

CONGRATULATIONS!

Well done to all 44 our students who successfully graded last night under the expert and watchful eye of Sensei Garry Harford.

The grading system is a big part of karate and provides recognition for all the hard work put in by all students. It is an important part of a karate journey and helps keep students motivated and have their progress recognised. More importantly it’s a way of showing that all of the hard work they have been doing in class is paying off.

At Wetherby Karate Club all gradings are overseen by a highly qualified independent examiner!

If you are ready to begin your Karate journey or if you want to carry on where you left off please contact Martin on 07753 244638, email [email protected] or visit https://wetherbykarateclub.co.uk/contact/
