Name that Kata! It's just a snippet, but this one should be an easy one to recognise. Doesn't mean it's easy to learn though; this kata is relatively fast, so if you're not careful to consider technique, it can look very sloppy. #readingmartialarts #martialartsreading #kata #shotokankata #karatekata #karate #karatedo #shotokankarate #practicemakesperfect #martialartstraining #karatetraining #karatepractice

Another Successful Grading 👏
I reckon there's going to be some new Black Belts in the next year or so. Exciting!

And the Kendrick Club is starting to reach capacity too!
We still have openings at the Tilehurst Club though, just reach out if you want to join try something new 👊

Don't Forget to Get Away! It's important to train to step back and escape after you've attacked. You don't want to stand there and wait to be grabbed! If they've taken the hit and are disoriented and off balance, that's your time to leave! 🏃‍♀️💨 #readingmartialartsschool #readinguk #selfdefence #readingmartialarts #readingselfdefence #selfdefenceforwomen #selfdefenceforkids #selfdefencetraining #martialartstraining #kidsselfdefence #womensselfdefence #tilehurst #Caversham #emmergreen #Earley #burghfield #readingtowncentre #selfprotection #personalprotection #streetsafe #martialarts #selfdefenceclass #martialartsclass #lifeskill #lifeskillsforkids
