Well what a day!

The 2023 Shotokan Tora Charity Competition is now over and we can’t believe how well it’s gone! We are so close to £500 for Young Gloucestershire so before you keep reading if you can donate even just £1 we would be so grateful to smash out target!!!!

We need to say the biggest thank you to so many people but especially Amanda Gisby, Robey Jenkins, Daniel Pope, Adam Higgins, Angie Appleton and Emma Shakespeare. Without you all we wouldn’t have been able to have kept to such a tight schedule.

To all of the parents that came early, baked cakes (hundreds of them!!), manned the refreshments stand, brought there own mugs, marshalled outside and so much more… again we can’t thank you enough for your unconditional, friendship and support.

This little club has been our baby for years and to see it and it’s student flourish with other clubs confirms that karate is family…Osu!!!🥋

We couldn’t be prouder of our students today 💪

Yesterday they took part in Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice Spring Fayre all to help raise vital funds for people and their families going through end of life care💙

It’s not easy to go up in front of lots of strangers and do a sport that is uncommon, but our students demonstrated brilliant karate, projected confidence and did their club proud 💪🥋👏

Have you ever thoughts about learning karate? Why not come along and have a FREE first lesson 🤷
