Just a reminder folks. This weekend is the Special Course and Grading by Kenny Taylor sensei. Can I ask that ALL club members attend so we can show a good turnout.
Training is on for ALL on Friday 28th at 6.00pm - 7.00pm; and on Saturday 29th at 10.00am for Brown and Black belts; and 11.15am for all other grades.
Can all club members bring their grading record books for signing as attendance at these courses are credited as National Course Attendance.

Cheers Spike

Two new black belts for Caithness Tora Kai. Huge well done to Chelsea and Corey who passed their grading examinations at the JKA Annual Summer Course in Paisley at the weekend. In addition to their grading they took part in 3 days training with senseis Oishi, Kawasoe and Kobayashi. Brilliant achievement by both who have been with us since they were very small children. Chelsea McGinley and Corey Heppel shodan yudansha.

IMPORTANT!!! Sorry everyone. I`ve made a mistake on the info sheet. It should read 28/29 AUGUST for the Grading

03/07/2026

Just for info, folks. We will be running classes as normal all through School Holidays.
ALSO VERY IMPORTANT: Club gradings with sensei Kenny Taylor on 28th August, so it is really recommended that all those grading get along to class as much as possible going forward.
It is also important for all brown and black belts to attend this course as it counts as an accredited course for future Dan Gradings. It also helps us to keep prices as low as possible.

Cheers Spike
