Another great 1:1 kata session Tameside Karate with Julian Mallalieu for Libby Dodd and myself with libby’s favourite kata Papuren (yes the long one 😂). Hand muscles this morning have there own biceps through that hand tension.

There are kata experts then there’s julian’s unrivalled knowledge as the detail and cross referencing and differences between styles and completion versions is insane knowledge. If you get chance to attend one of julian’s classes in staleybridge or ashton or even at gorton club with Daniel Corbet do so as you’ll leave inspired and better for doing so. 🙌🏻🥋🙌🏻

Our Adults session tonight we drilled and drilled basic combinations for basics working on techniques.

Also some ju ippon kumite for grading requirements

Kata obviously - of which they all seem to love 🤷‍♂️, good to see they all help each other weekly. Blackbelts went though there next Dan kata along with some jiyu ippon advanced defences.

Great turn out - and when all return from holiday it’s going to be a packed busy class. 🙌

Last run in now before grading day, in our junior class we split the class and focused on last minute kata improvements.

I have to say sometimes you have to stop and look twice as we have students of different grades and ages and we can see massive improvements not in their karate, but confidence is buoyant , those that struggled with press ups/ sit ups are boxing them off easier now. Sometimes it just clicks after a while and starts to become second nature, and great for us to see their growth. 👊🥋👊

It’s Bank Holiday this Monday, but our sessions are still on as grading very soon, so get those important lessons in and see you then ! or tonight 🥋

Oh my, well that’s a rap working out all the people that will be grading and belt sizes and colours with tabs and without tabs , All annual memberships who’s due next week (what a year !), orders placed. All ready for grading announcements on monday. 🤞🏻

Then after grading a long overdue holiday !

Loving the Osita-ha labels for our blackbelts and instructors to personalise belts and Gi 😍

Travel Tuesday again for Libby Dodd and myself to run through few of my next kata and drill down on the technical aspects (sure there’s more to come !) Tameside Karate with sensei Julian Mallalieu

Next week libs wants papuren 1:1 last one before uni 😢

thanks to Sharon Mallalieu for all my goodies to bring back 🤗

Always good to catch up with other students at ashton class.

Another successful pass in the annual safeguarding code for martial arts , this is not an easy task to complete with all the exams and policy’s to upload.

Tonight juniors all went through grading practice and all did really well, probably due to sensei jack being in charge 🙌 The white belts did awesome and boxed kata off no worries. yellow belts looking strong, and higher grades now a year into their karate journey looking good.

Seniors - Our white belts to be honest awesome and ready !

Intermediate students polishing off those little things to perfection.

Seniors also running through jiyu and ippon kumite with blackbelts running through kata also.

Quite a few away on holidays this week and feels pretty strange, as our average attendance is really high every week so nice to teach smaller class for change.
