π’Another proud post alertπ’
Huge congratulations to Jon on achieving his Brown Belt (3rd Kyu) π₯π
He thought he was grading for purpleβ¦ but we pushed him for brown β what an amazing achievement!
Jon has shown fantastic dedication to his karate, training consistently alongside his son Luke and always giving 100%. He works incredibly hard, pays attention to the smallest details, and is always striving to get things right.
One of the most rewarding things to see has been Jonβs growth in confidence. From not wanting to demonstrate in front of the class, to now stepping up without hesitation β itβs become second nature!
A well-deserved milestone and a brilliant example of what hard work and perseverance can achieve. Keep it up, Jon πͺπ₯

Massive congratulations to Luke on achieving his 1st Dan Black Belt π₯π
Once known as βLittle Lukeβ β not so little anymore! His journey started back in 2018, and since then heβs shown incredible dedication, determination, and resilience.
Through every belt, every challenge, and every tough session, Luke never gave up and always pushed himself to improve.
This achievement is a true reflection of his hard work and commitment β we couldnβt be prouder.
Even better, from September Luke will be stepping into a new role as an Assistant Coach, helping guide and inspire our younger students as they begin their own journeys.
Well done, Luke β a fantastic role model and a well-deserved Black Belt πͺπ₯
