Double Silver at the Shotokan Cup
Awesome result for Meleri for getting Silver in both the girl’s kata and kumite events. Well done indeed! Also well done for Steve Bailey for narrowly missing out on the boys kata finals, hoping you get the luck you deserve next time, eh?
Most of the videos were accidentally recorded in slow motion. Great for analysing detail but not so good to watch. If anyone fancies converting them to normal speed let us know

Black Belt Anya!!
Very well done to Anya for passing her Shodan at the recent black belt grading in Bath under Senseis Andy Sherry 8th dan and Billy Higgins 7th dan. Now let the fun begin
National Youth Championships, Chesterfield
Well done! to Meleri, Steve B and Anya, who competed at the National Youth Championships in Chesterfield on Saturday 3rd July. They all performed well, and came away with even more medals and trophies! Meleri righted a wrong from the Welsh Champs, repeating the same kata and winning gold in the individual girls black belt kata. Anya did well in the individual girls brown belt kata, taking silver after narrowly missing out on gold by only 0.1 point, and the team kata were narrowly beaten in the finals, winning themselves a 3rd place and some bronze medals. Steve missed out on a place in the individual boys black belt kata after losing in the eliminations against some very strong opposition.

Congratulations to everyone for doing so well at the Kyu Grade Champs
A good turn out saw us coming home with some good results. Scott Fleming won gold in the Men’s Kata, and also won silver in the team kata alongside Tim Hudson and Kerry Thomas. Scott, Tim, Nat Wright and Mark Reading took bronze in the Men’s Team Kumite, and Nat and Samuel Pike took gold and silver in the ippon kumite. Well done!
We’d also like to say a big well done to Anya, Rosie, Christopher and Ryan for also doing very well but unfortunately came home empty handed… this time. Let’s hope you get the luck you deserve next time.

Train With The Champions – Torbay 2010
It was an excellent week. Pete Bonser gained his instructor’s qualification on the Tuesday. Thursday’s kata competition went well with Steve Bailey taking second in the black belt kata, Scott Fleming taking first in the brown belt kata and Kerry Thomas, Tim Hudson and Iwan Roderick came first, third and fourth in the colour belt competition.
As usual the course was top notch, mentally and physically exhausting but extremely rewarding and inspirational as always.
