St John's Karate club Maidstone.

8 Years ago at 17 years old I opened up my Karate club at St Johns school.
To say I'm proud of how far this club has grown and all the wonderful students we have is an understament.
We couldn't ask for a better Karate Club community and that's down to the students and great familys that have supported us along the way.

We still have students at the club that started with me on that very first Friday night and have been along the 8 years journey with me which is so great to see.
We hope for many more wonderful and exciting years to come with old and new students.

A big thankyou to Emma Louise for being our photographer for the day and have caught some amazing pictures and memories for you all. We will be adding pictures in groups throughout the day so please keep an eye out for them.
If parents have any pictures they took of myself and students we would love to see them.
