With 70 attendees, our final seminar of the year on Sunday - with Sensei Jimmy Brennan - was a great success.

Sensei Brennan took three hours of lessons, with the first being an all-grade seminar before the grading. The second was exclusively for Bristol Karate Academy black belts and a small number of guests, where Sensei focused on partner drills and the kata Ji'in.

Congratulations to the 41 Bristol Karate Academy members that passed their Kyu gradings in our busiest ever grading, including the ten members that passed their first ever Karate exam, all going to full 9th Kyu.  

Thank you to Sensei Brennan for visiting, to our helpers for making sure the event ran so well and to all of you for putting in so much effort. Thanks also to all the Academy instructors, helpers and Young Leaders for helping everyone prepare for grading day.

It was a source of grade pride to see the outstanding support and camaraderie between Academy members. Keep up the great spirit and also the hard work!
