Hamsteels Junsui Shotokan Karate Do

Another new starter in little tigers tonight who did really well, nice to see that class getting busier! Thank you for the tiny white flowers that were picked for me and Sensei Rebecca! I've added mine to my vase at home ☺️
Working on the syllabus to prepare for the upcoming grading across all classes tonight. Keep working hard! 🙂

Lots of busy classes tonight!
4 returning newbies who did really well, Membership forms given out. Little tigers looking at basics then had some fun at the end. Tigers mainly looking at tidying partner work, seniors looking at basics and kata, ensuring consistency.

A reminder that classes are not running due to the bank holiday Monday 25th! 😊

4 new starters at class tonight, who all did really well. Working mainly on basics and a quick run through kata for higher grades.
Tigers class was split into two, white belts working on basics and a first look at kata, red belts and above getting Heian Nidan where it needs to be
Seniors were led mostly by Sensei Andrew and Harrison, looking at a mix of basics, kata and partner work, while I took the opportunity to look at 2nd Dan kata worn Sensei Rebecca. Thanks to all who came along and as always, thanks to those who helped 🙂

A few missing tonight but starting to get a good look at what was needed for grading. An adult new starter joined us after a break from training previously which was nice to see. All coming along nicely 😁

First two classes looking at requirements for grading, slips have now gone out. The second class was nice and busy, and we had two new starters who did really well. Seniors class was very quiet, but some good work on kicks and kata. We also gave out our final student award, the Joel Ineson award, given to Rebecca. Well deserved!

Nice classes tonight, little tigers looking at what's needed for next grading, and a new starter, it's nice to see some new faces coming through the doors.
Tigers and seniors also looking at what's needed for grading or working from the syllabus, great effort from all!

Back to normal tonight after the emergency mishap last week! Apologies again to any who attended to find classes were closed.
