So good to welcome Sensei Jaz Magill to PRD SKC last evening, she had travelled over the border to train with us. Jaz is an instructor at Ataru KUGB SKC, in Market Drayton Shropshire. It was a pleasure to have her company, and we hope she returns to visit us again in the future.

Great to travel to Merthyr Tydfil Shotokan Karate Academy last Tuesday evening, for their course and grading with Sensei Frank Brennan, 8th Dan KUGB.

Powys Red Dragon SKC - KUGB held its first grading of 2026 under the expert eye of KUGB Chief Instructor Sensei Frank Brennan 8th Dan, last evening.

Once again, the emphasis was on good posture, correct stances, powerful delivery of technique’s, a good attitude, and determination. A hard challenging training session was enjoyed by everyone.

We welcomed Sensei Clive King, and one of his students, John John from Tekki KUGB SKC Aberystwyth, who had travelled to train and grade with us.

Twenty three students successfully graded after strict scrutiny from Sensei Brennan, and are now able to progress further in their studies of our unique style of KUGB Shotokan Karate. Congratulations to everyone.

Great to see Gwennan Meek, and myself, both re selected to the KUGB Central Region Kata Squad this afternoon, 25.01.2026, at Grantham. Everybody! irrespective of their grade, must demonstrate a Heian Kata to Sensei Brennan KUGB 8th Dan, and meet the required standard to become part of this prestigious group of Karate students. All sessions, usually eight, must be attended through the year at a number of locations in the central region area.
The process is repeated every January, old friendship’s are renewed, and new Kata Squad members welcomed, there were in excess of 100 students in attendance today.
Many thanks to parent chauffeur Mr Andrew Meek today, a 310 mile round trip. We’re very lucky to have such supportive people associated with our Karate club.

Last evening PRD SKC were delighted to welcome Sensei Dean Akerman, to provide a course at our club, on our last session of 2025. Sensei Akerman is a 5th Dan KUGB Wales international competitor, and the chief Instructor of Okami KUGB SKC in Blackwood, South Wales.

Three other Okami Dan grades, Gary Wheeler, 2nd Dan, Misty Hutton 1st Dan, and Jonathon Jones 1st Dan, had accompanied Dean to train with us at Newtown, and had made the long journey to be with us, it was our pleasure to welcome them all.

Sensei Akerman provided a fantastic nights training, including basics, and then some tremendous sparing drills, that all the students, thoroughly enjoyed.

Sensei Akerman has supported our club from its inception, and was at our first club grading in 2023. We would like to take the opportunity to thank him, and his students, for helping us develop the club further.
