Osu Karateka and Families,

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year. Enjoy your break and I look forward to seeing you all on Monday 15^th January 2018 raring to go for 2018.

KKC Karate keeps growing, we have just completed our 9^th year and it has been a wonderful journey so far and an honour for me to be part of your karate development. Seeing you all grow not just from being a junior to adult but watching you grow in your karate it is such a joy, Osu and thank you!

2018 will be another great year as there is a lot planned to help you in your karate journey, starting with the Annual IFKKA Karate Camp with Shihan David Pickthall on 19^th, 20^th and 21^st January 2018. This will be a great event and a good way to start your karate year. If you have trained with Shihan David before you know this is a not to be missed event. If you haven’t trained with Shihan David be sure to make this a priority!
