Again, Congratulations to all our students.

To progress past Green Belt you need to be training regularly, ideally twice a week and some practice at home.

To progress through your Brown belts, two to three times a week with a couple of hours self training a week and a bit of aerobic and flexibility exercise as well.

There are opportunities to train on Wednesdays and Sunday at Hambleton and Barlby dojo.

As members of Selby dojo you will also be made very welcome at either York or Haxby clubs on a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday, loads of opportunity in a relatively short distance from home.
