May 2017 newsletter

Posted on by in News flash, News Letter | Comments Off on May 2017 newsletter
Hi all,
Quite a few things to tell you about since the last newsletter. Lots coming up in May and June!!
First off, as most of you now know, I recently passed my 1st Dan at the recent KUGB black and brown belt course in Rhyl with Sensei Sherry and Sensei Poynton. Thank you to Sensei Warburton and all the club senior instructors for all their help and support,but I also would like to say a huge thank you to every single RSKC member, I could not have done it without you. Also, thank you to those members who came to the training session in Rhyl, and supported me on the day. Those who took part in the training session found it a very challenging but enjoyable. Highly recommended for all of the 1st kyu’s who are working towards their Dan grade.
A few of us are going to the Woolpack for a quick drink after training tonight (9th) to celebrate Sandra achieving her 2nd Dan last year and me achieving my 1st Dan. Everyone is welcome to come along.

 
Courses
 
Sensei Rick Payne and Sensei Doyle attended a tough but rewarding Dan Grade course in Chesterfield on 23rd April. 

 
 
Nationals
On Saturday 6th May, Myself, Liam and Joe represented the club at the KUGB Nationals Championships at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham. Podium places my have evaded up, but the calibre of competitors was very high and in all our events we were knocked out by either National squad members or eventual medal winners. Liam had a particularly tough draw, meeting eventual kumite winner Ethan Armstrong in the 1st round, and a taking on former national, european and world kata champion Hisham Saif in his kata event!  Excellent day out and a great experience.
