We had a great night again at our annual Christmas Karateka classes held last Thursday 18th December. All classes on our final night of training before Christmas, students brought mum, dad, nan, pop or a friend, which once again has proved to be very popular. A lot of fun was had by all! The parents/friends really got into the swing of the night and students showing them how it is done, pictured are the Kids Karate Club Class and the Adults Class, Osu and Merry Christmas.

We had a great day at Young Tigers Kyokushin Karate Club Championships with 13 students entered (12 from KKC) pictured. I am always so proud when I watch students compete and put into practice what they have learnt in the dojo. There were some great bouts on the day, that are not always reflected in the results. One in particular was Gabriel Fabi in the non contact, this was an epic fight well done. Osu! Click here to view photo from the day.
