Well done to all squad members for taking part and showing some excellent performances.

On Thursday 23rd February, 2023 we will be holding a Karate 'Kickathon' where students attempt to complete as many Kicks as possible in a 60 second period. When we did a trial a couple of weeks ago the record was 65 kicks in a period of 60 seconds.

On February 23rd, we will make this a sponsored event in an attempt to raise money for the club so that we can hopefully purchase as many sets of Mitts, Footpads, Strike Shields and other essential equipment for training and competition. This equipment can be expensive and with the current cost of living crisis, some students simply cannot afford to buy everything they need. Hopefully we will raise enough money to get all students the essential equipment they need.

There will also be a special prize for the Student who gets the most sponsorship.

Don't focus on how far you still have to go. Focus on how far you have come, and then keep going!
