Saturday 26 January was busy with presentations after the 12pm junior session at Litherland Sports Park. The first presentations from Shihan Peter Smith were to Ben and Lindsey. They received their Yudansha certificates for their successful black belt exams on Monday 21 January. After a few moments there was a further presentation.

On Monday 21 January two of the club's under 18 students took their black belt gradings. Shihan Peter Smith was the mat master who presented the students to examiner Sensei Jane Saunders. Their uke - partners for the grading - were Ethan, Logan, Paul, Jack F, Andy W, Mark B and Graham. The students would not have been able to demonstrate their skills without their presence. The commitment of the uke to ensure they worked hard was appreciated. The coaches at the club have all

Well done to Logan on passing his 5th Kyu (Yellow Belt) grading. Sensei Jane Saunders was Logan's examiner and Paul was his uke (training partner).

The grading was held at the Bootle Dojo on Wednesday 24 October. #grading #teenagers

Well done to Lindsey on her Student Of The Month Award for April 2018! Lindsey was presented with the certificate at the first session in May at Litherland Sports Park. The usual 'Bunny Ears' perpetrator was not at the session, so Ethan took on the mantle of being the person to 'spoil' the photo shoot. #certificates #awards #kids #juniors #teenagers

The club is lucky to train at two excellent venues. Litherland Sports Park is where kids aged 4 to 16 can train on Saturdays from 12pm to 1pm. The venue is also used by the club to hold competitions and celebrations. The juniors, that wish to, can take part in competition formats. They are designed to be fun, safe and help them show off their newly acquired skills. Helpers of any age are always needed at the comps. There are two main types of junior comps the club runs. Groun

The Monday night class is open and running at Attitude Dance on 7th May at 730pm. This is a change from our usual policy as normally the club does not run sessions on a Bank Holiday. Instructors are available for this session and we're looking forward to a bit of work after relaxing over long holiday weekend. #open #seniors #teenagers #BankHolidays #sessions #classes
