Largs Karate Club

A fantastic day for Largs Karate Club at the KUGB National Championships in Nottingham. Excellent performances all round, with our students a credit to the club as always. Huge congratulations to Luke who picked up a well deserved Bronze Medal in the Boys 10-11 Kumite - an outstanding achievement!

Our thanks to organisers and officials for a great day of karate.

Training at Largs Karate Club will NOT be on tomorrow evening, Monday 4th May. The school is closed due to no janitorial cover over the bank holiday.

On Sunday, LKC members Lauren, Macewan, Matthew and Duncan joined up with fellow KUGB Scotland squad members for a fantastic, gruelling 3 hour training session in Wemyss Bay with Sensei Smith. Thoroughly enjoyed by all!

Last night, three of our club instructors had the enormous privilege of representing Largs Karate Club at the North Ayrshire Community Champions Award Ceremony. It was an honour for the club to be shortlisted as finalists in the Sporting Champion of the Year category, alongside two other fantastic organisations. Making the final is testament to the hard work all our members do both inside and outside the dojo to make our club the success it is - well done everybody! Our thanks to the organisers and judging panel.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

We have been advised by KA Leisure that the campus will be closed on Monday 6th April (Easter Monday) so there will be no classes that night. Back to normal training on Wednesday 8th April.

LKC club members were back in Garnock today for the annual KUGB Scottish Brown and Black Belt course and grading. Another fabulous class with Sensei Brennan to round off a fantastic weekend of karate.

No LKC members grading today, but congratulations to all those from other clubs who successfully passed 1st and 2nd Dan.

Massive congratulations to the nearly 30 Largs Karate Club members who passed Kyu gradings under Sensei Brennan last night. You all did yourselves and the club proud!

Our thanks as always to Sensei for an excellent, technically detailed course, looking at transfer of sound Kihon technique into Kata, with the Senior grades working on Jion and Enpi.

LKC Students receiving their grading certificates from club instructors at training last week. Congratulations once again to everyone who successfully graded with Sensei Brennan just before Christmas.
