Unfortunately there will be no training at Reading Karate Club on Wednesday 06 June 2012, during the Half Term/Jubilee week.
Congratulations to Yathavan and Benjamin on their recent grading success at the England Wado Kai Karate Junior Training Course. In particular Yathavan was promoted two grades following a successful performance of Pinan Nidan. A double promotion is a rarity and testiment to his hard work and dedication. The course took place at the Edgbarrow Sports Centre in Crowthorne early in October. For further information about grading please click here> For upcoming EWKR Events please check your newsletter or the courses section on the England Wado Kai Website.
