Black Belt Academy

Sometimes a thing will happen that leads one to feel very old. This picture was taken at a demo MANY years ago. The person on the left of this photograph is Anton. His wife recently shared the picture with me when she brought her son (Anton’s son too) to a Little Dragons class.
Goodness, the son of the person in this picture now trains with us. It’s lovely and I really appreciate the continuity, it just takes a moment t to get my head around it. 😲

Congratulations to our members who collected exam results today and last Thursday!
We've heard some of your amazing results and we're delighted for you 💪

What an INCREDIBLE weekend for the Black Belt Academy 🤯

On Saturday the wait was finally over for us as we found out the selection results for the WTKA GB team.
We are so proud of our guys for receiving their invitation letters to join the WTKA GB team which really does go to show the level of commitment and dedication they have for Karate.

It’s easy to celebrate the medals and the success, but what people don’t always see are the countless hours of training, the early mornings, the long journeys to competitions across the country, and the sacrifices made along the way. Behind every achievement are the blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into earning moments like these.
Congratulations to every one of you. We know just how much this meant, and you’ve earned every bit of this success.
Now… the real hard work begins! 💪🏼

After the high of being selected, we travelled down to High Wycombe on Sunday to take part in the London Open.
As you can see, we had another excellent set of performances and a fantastic day on the mats.

We’re sure you’ll agree, these guys absolutely deserve a pat on the back when you see them next.

Well done team. We are SO proud of you.

👏🏼 🇮🇹🌍🏆
