🐉🥋 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱! 🐉🥋

Yesterday was a very exciting evening at Arena Karate as our brand-new 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 had its very first session at the Ansell Centre in Hadleigh!

We were absolutely delighted to welcome 𝟭𝟯 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘀 to their first class, and what a brilliant bunch they were! ❤️

Our youngest members had a fantastic time learning, moving, playing and getting their first taste of karate. There were plenty of smiles, lots of energy and a whole lot of fun!

A huge well done to all 𝟭𝟯 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘀 for completing their very first class. We hope this is the beginning of a fantastic karate journey for every single one of them! 🥋🐉

And a special mention to our junior leaders 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗲, who did a fantastic job teaching and helping our Little Dragons through their first session. It's brilliant to see our older juniors stepping up and helping the next generation of Arena Karate kids.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁! We can't wait to see our Little Dragons back in class next week! 🐉🔥
