GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE GETTING THEIR GCSE RESULTS TODAY!

We know a number of our students and Senpais are receiving their GCSE results today, so everyone at Shinpo Martial Arts wants to wish you the very best of luck! 🥋

Whatever is written on that piece of paper, remember that today is just one step on a much bigger journey. Be proud of the work you’ve put in, the challenges you’ve overcome and everything you’ve achieved along the way.

There’s a Japanese proverb that feels particularly fitting today, and it’s one we use a lot on the mat:

七転び八起き — Nana korobi ya oki
“Fall down seven times, stand up eight.”

Success isn’t about everything always going perfectly. It’s about continuing to move forward, whatever happens.

Good luck guys! We hope you get the results you’ve worked so hard for. 💪🎓

Here’s a picture from the 90’s when myself and my little brother both got our first Gi’s, doing our very best Karate Kid impressions.

We harassed our parents for a Gi for weeks and finally got them on Christmas morning. The funny thing is, I don’t think we went back to another Ju Jitsu class after getting those Gi’s (you know how kids can be) and it wasn’t until a few years later I rejoined and never looked back. For me, the proverb should be, fall down a million times, stand up a million and one.

Hard work and resilience is what we learn on the mat and it’s those qualities that’ll mean whatever those results say today… I know you’ll all keep moving forward.

Some moments mean a little bit more.

When Sensei Alfie first started training with us many years ago, Bruce Lee was already one of his biggest inspirations. In fact, his dad and I still spend time talking about Bruce Lee, even after all these years. His philosophy, attitude and approach to martial arts continue to inspire us, just as they do millions of martial artists around the world. Even today, Bruce Lee is often the person who inspires both adults and children to take their very first steps onto the mats, and his influence is still as powerful now as it was decades ago.

So seeing Sensei Alfie standing in front of the statue, proudly wearing his Shinpo Martial Arts rash guard, is a real full-circle moment.

Bruce Lee once said:

“Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”

That quote perfectly reflects what we try to teach at Shinpo Martial Arts. Respect tradition, keep an open mind, work hard and never stop learning.

We’re incredibly proud of the martial artist, instructor and young man Alfie has become. Moments like these remind us that inspiration can stay with you for a lifetime.

Keep representing Shinpo, Sensei. 👊🥋

What an amazing weekend!! ❤️🥋

Today was the final day of our Chorley Gradings and what a weekend it has been!

Watching our students step onto the mat and show us just how far they’ve come is always something special. This weekend, we’ve seen some incredible Ju Jitsu, but more importantly, we’ve seen determination, confidence and students refusing to give up when things got tough.

We’re incredibly proud of every single one of you. ❤️

A huge thank you to all of our parents who bring their children to class week after week, our instructors and junior leaders who give so much of their time, our volunteers who help everything run smoothly and, of course, every student who stepped onto the mat this weekend.

These events simply wouldn’t be what they are without all of you!

Please share your pictures and videos in the comments below or tag our page in your posts! You can also use so we can see them. We genuinely love seeing all the amazing moments you guys manage to capture! 📸

I’ve already posted plenty of videos in the comments too, so make sure you check them out below! 👇

We still have a few final school classes next week, and the Dojo will remain open throughout the summer, so I look forward to seeing you all back on the mat! 🥋

And we’re not quite finished with gradings yet…

Next week, it’s the turn of our Mini Warriors! Our amazing 3 and 4 year old students have their grading event, and I can’t wait to see how well they’re all getting on too! ❤️

What a weekend.

Well done, everyone. We are incredibly proud of you all! 🥋❤️
