Hi everyone,

What a summer it’s been! Between classes and a crazy number of free kids camps, it’s been non-stop energy, learning, and fun. A huge thank you to everyone who supported and took part.

As we get into September, it’s important to remember this is a common time for people to quit. New routines, school schedules, and busier days can make it tempting to step back. But this is also when the benefits of sticking with training really show. We’ve put together a blog to help you avoid becoming one of those statistics—and to make sure your child doesn’t grow up wishing they had never quit. 👉 [Read the blog here]

You’ll also notice a few changes around the dojo. Most of it has been behind the scenes, but one addition we know parents will appreciate is our new coffee station—free to use while you wait for your child.

A couple of important dates for your diary:
📅 Gradings will be held on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September. Invites will go out next Monday. If you don’t receive one but believe you should be grading, please get in touch so we can check.

👊 Competitive opportunities are also on the horizon, so keep an eye out for updates if you’d like to get involved.

Finally, take this chance to set some fresh goals and targets for the rest of 2025. A little clarity now will give you a big sense of achievement by the end of the year.

Here’s to a strong finish to 2025—we can’t wait to see you all back on the mats.

See you soon,
Best wishes,
Kev
