News and Events for 2023

For 2024 kobudo training we will be introducing the Nunchaku. This weapon can be a little unpredictable.

So for students new to this weapon we have just ordered foam training Nunchaku.

As we were reminded so many times in Okinawa - Safety First!

On the 13th and 15th December we will have our Christmas classes. There will be mince pies, lollies and Christmas crackers.

Our first class of the new year will be on 24th January 2024!

This has been another great year for the club and it would be wonderful to see you before we all head off to celebrate Christmas.

If you cannot make it I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and an awesome 2024!
