Last training day tomorrow.
A reminder: The replacement grading on January 14th is for those who were due to grade at the cancelled December grading.
If you are down to grade in January try to practice in between mince pie stuffing and present opening but don’t stress you wouldn’t have been invited to grade if you weren’t at the standard required, we understand you may be rusty over the break and this will be taken into consideration. The instructors will be there to help you so no stress, enjoy yourselves!
To all club members of MBKD
Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and a happy new year
Brian and Danni x
Dear Students,
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and to thank you all for training with Bushido Black Belt Academy.
As you know our training year is divided into 12 four-week periods, for which you pay 12 monthly payments on a set day each month. As there are 13 four-week periods in a year the dojos will be closed for four weeks over Christmas and New Year.
Below is a list of final lessons for 2017 and re-start dates for 2018.
Yours in Karate Do,
Brian Owen
MBKD UK Chief Instructor
