Junior Instructor Cleans Up Community

Posted on: April 21st, 2016 by David Finch

One of our wonderful Junior Instructors, Jasper, has recently gone out of his way to help the community clean up the local pond and communal area for the partially sighted as part of his Community Challenge.

As part of their J.C.I.T. journey, students must plan and be involved in something that benefits others in their community and Jasper has certainly done this – well done Jasper!  This is a fantastic example of being a Black Belt outside of the Martial Arts class.

Junior Instructor Raising Money for Charity

Posted on: April 21st, 2016 by David Finch

As part of the Junior Instructor assessment process, one of our team members, Lauren Russell, took the time to help much needed funds and awareness for Parkinson’s Disease.

This fund raising was part of the Community Challenge that Lauren undertook; being part of something that benefits others in the community.  Lauren’s efforts helped raise over £600 which is a fantastic effort!

After her fund raising evening, Lauren then presented her work to her Martial Arts class in Canterbury which is a challenge in itself.  However, she rose to the task and presented in a very confident, entertaining and informative way, so thank you and well done Lauren.

Black Belts – Forms 1-4

Posted on: April 14th, 2016 by David Finch

We now have Forms 1-4, as performed by Master Finch, available to download from the student login section of our website for you to practice at home.

If you have any questions about these or any Forms please do not hesitate to speak to your Instructor.

Junior Instructor teaches local Primary School

Posted on: April 8th, 2016 by David Finch

We are all very proud of Emma Watson who, as part of her Junior Instructor Certification, delivered a very engaging and educational Martial Arts P.E. lesson to her local Primary School.

Part of the J.C.I.T. assessment is to think of, organise and deliver a Community Challenge – something that will benefit others in the community.

In addition, Emma then presented her Challenge to her Martial Arts class in Canterbury.  Well done Emma!

It took a great deal of courage to deliver this lesson and shows the huge progress that Emma has made over the past 12-mths and, in particular, since completing the J.C.I.T. weekend in February this year.
