KOBUDO WORKSHOP

Sensei Reece Cummings from Cummings Karate is visiting Sangrok on Wednesday 17 July to deliver a bo weapon workshop. The workshop will be held at 6.30pm, replacing the usual intermediate class on Wednesday evening. Due to the nature of the weapons workshop, bo staff availability, and the space required to safely run this class the session is strictly limited to a maximum of 20 participants and students must be 12 years or older to attend.

Please register for the class via your Clubworx portal or app or simply send us an email.

SELF DEFENCE WORKSHOP

In June, head instructor Trip ran an intermediate self defence workshop focused on the new self defence curriculum for red and black belts. This workshop included trips, throws, defence against take downs and grappling. It was great to have so many of our students attend this workshop.

RED AND BLACK BELT PREGRADING ASSESSMENTS

Any red or black belts students who are aiming to grade this year are reminded to complete their pre-grading assessment throughout the year – remember that this is your opportunity to seek and implement feedback regularly throughout your red and black belt training so you should be consistently seeking feedback from your instructors and assistant instructors throughout the year (don’t leave it all the end as you may find that you are unable to pass the pre-grading assessment).

There will be red belt gradings in September and December and our black belt grading will be held in October.

JUNE GRADING

Congratulations to our members who successfully passed their grading in June!

POOMSAE SESSION – KORYO & KEUMGANG
