Here’s a little article in the Gloucestershire Gazette today about our three latest junior black belt promotions, plus Master Olpin’s promotion to 6th Dan and his “Instructor of the Year” award from last xmas (old news!).

Black Belt Promotions and a National Award for Richard Olpin

Events

Black Belt Open Training Session (May 12th)

This is an extra scheduled session, as we have May Day bank holiday on the 5th which is the first tuesday of the month, where we’d normally have a black belt session

As always from 8pm onwards, until at least 9pm, but Master O. is happy to stay as long as needed.

This is open to any Black Belts / Black Belt Candidates (regardless of whether you’re grading this year) who want to come along and get some extra training in.

Notes:

  • This is an OPEN TRAINING session for you to work on your own initiative, not a taught class, so if there’s anything in particular you need help with, please ask in advance of the session, as it may well be that instructors have plans for personal training during this time and cannot guaranteed to be available to help.
  • Adults students are always welcome to train during this time on tuesdays (8-9pm) but strictly by request.  If you wish to train in this session, please let us know on Monday evening in class.

Adults Open Training Session (May)

Normally the first tuesday of the month would be our Black Belt training session, but this one is open to ALL adults / junior Black belts as it’s the ‘bonus’ session we have instead of training on a bank holiday month.

We’ll have a dedicated Black Belt session next Tuesday, 12th May as well for black belt prep :-)
