What's on in May

It's a busy month coming up. We're looking forward to the upcoming BITF seminar and Black Belt grading.

Best of luck to everyone taking part, and don't forget to make sure you've registered on the database and applied for your passport. 

We're delighted to say that after a bit of disruption, jiu jitsu is back - and with a new block of beginners classes, too.

And finally, after finally thinking that we wouldn't have to make any more changes to the timetable, we're going to have to move the Monday night senior taekwondo class back to Hermitage Academy. Sorry for the inconvenience, but the class is simply too large for the church hall. Part of that is down to students attending that class who probably shouldn't be - have a read below to see if that maybe applies to you... The new timetable starts from 15th May - see it here

Don't forget that we've the Coronation public holiday on 8th May, so classes are off on that day. Enjoy the day off!
