All of our students joined in on our fundraising training session this evening. The children dressed up as superheroes and we sold some lovely treats. Altogether we raised £162.00 which has gone to help people who desperately need it in Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who took part and donated.

Our Student of the Year Award for 2021 went to Angshuman Roy. 2021 has been a very important year for him and he has trained incredibly hard throughout. Well done Angshuman for making us all very proud of you!

The following students took part in our first Colour Belt Grading since COVID and were promoted to the following grades:
Hafsa Qureshi – 8th Kup (Yellow Belt)
Ammara Qureshi – 8th Kup (Yellow Belt)

Angshuman Roy who is just 11 years old graded for his Black Belt (1 st Dan). Angshuman did
particularly well in light of the fact that he was unable to attend classes for 18 months due to the
lockdown. Ms Virk and Angshuman did a lot of the grading preparation outdoors as a result of this.
Angshuman’s focus, maturity and dedication is what allowed him to perform so well on the day.
Thank you to Grand Master Nicholls and Mr Brunger who conducted the grading and well done to
Angshuman!
