Redby Karate Club Sunderland

We’ve just donated another £82 to Stroke Association from Awards Night, thank you.

This takes the club’s donations to over £450 and Adam’s family and friends total donations in his memory to over £29,500.

A testament to how much he is loved and missed 💙

Last night was our annual Presentation Night, where our students demonstrated a range of karate for their families. They were all fantastic and showed just how much progress they’ve made this year. We are very proud of them.

We also gave out four very special awards.

Our Students’ Student of the Year is Will G. Despite only joining us earlier this year and not knowing anybody in the class, the fact that his fellow students have voted for him for this award just shows how perfectly Will has fitted in to the group. He works very hard at his karate every week and is an absolute pleasure to have in the club.

Our Young Senseis’ Award was voted for by our 1st Dans, who help us in the club to support the lower grades. They chose George Orwin, for always working hard, being kind and listening well. Big thanks to our black belt Jacob who stood up last night to speak about George and present this award.

Our Adam Bosher Award is always given out to a student who has worked exceptionally hard to overcome challenges and shown a brilliant attitude. This year it’s gone to William A, who continues to make massive progress.

Our final award is our Student of the Year, awarded to Alex. Every week he turns up, focuses on his progress, helps others whenever he can and epitomises everything we try to do in the class.

Massive well done to all of them 🥋

Well done to everyone who graded today, especially Emily and Jacob who achieved their First Dan. A massive achievement and a testament to all of their hard work and dedication over a number of years (Emily was at our first ever karate class!)
We are so proud of them both 🥋🥋

Two super 🤩STUDENTS OF THE WEEK🤩 tonight - our new starter Will who worked really hard at his basics and kata and William who made a big effort to make him feel comfortable in our group.
The confidence and social skills we see the children developing all the time really are the best part 🥰
Well done both of you 👏

⭐️⭐️⭐️Our first student of the week of 2026 goes to Jack⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jack worked really hard on his basics this evening, showing determination to perfect the different stances we use.
