Over the past two weeks we have made a couple of trips to some of our nearby JKS clubs to train with Sensei Scott Langley 5th dan.
Two weekends ago we took the drive up to Kiltimagh, where we were welcomed by Sensei Alan Biesty and his class for a day of grading and training. Alan hosted a special children's class, which was taken by Sensei Scott. I found this especially interesting. Watching the techniques that Sensei Scott and his team at the JKS have developed for teaching children karate has given me a lot to think about and work on for our own children's class development.
Myself, Marty and Jadzia all successfully grading on the day.
Well done guys.
Thank you Sensei Alan for your help and continued assistence.
And as always thanks to Marcela for always having cake and spoons!!!!
Last weekend we had the pleasure of visiting Sensei Pat Murtagh's club in Drumone, Co. Meath.
This was my 2nd time training with his club and once again I was taken with this wonderfully friendly club. Even though Pat and his club where hosting a large grading they made us feel like part of the group and went as far as helping out our own grading members. Well done to all who graded on the day and especially our own Eimear who successfully double graded.
