Introduction to Karate at Hambleton starts 20/01/10

SSKC are running a 10 week introduction to Karate at Hambleton CofE Primary School.

The ten 45 minute sessions are designed for anyone over 7 years old, families are very welcome. The fee for the course is only £20, our aim is that you/your child will be able to make an informed decision if Shotokan Karate is an activity you want to follow with a minimum of financial outlay.

The sessions will run from 6.30 to 7.15pm and commence on 20th January and conclude at the end of March. Just turn up in loose sports clothing and have a go.

We are a "not for profit" club run by its members and our standard monthly training fees work out at less than £2/hour so Shotokan Karate could be that inexpensive activity that you have been looking for.

If you have any queries please Email me from the link in the sidebar.

Hambleton Week 1

We were keen to start training at Hambleton as early as possible, despite it being the start of the school holidays. Unfortunately both Sensei Andy and myself were not able to get there, so it was down to Becks to step up to the mark.
I think she was glad to see that Senpai Ian was there, even though he was happy to let her teach and he joined in with the training.
Beck's started with normal warm ups and went onto kihon, half steps forward and back with blocks, punches and kicks.
The session was finished off with kata Heian Shodan and Nidan. As a relatively inexperienced instructor Rebecca probably pitched it just right. She taught the basics she has done with Sensei Kato, session after session and with a small but mixed group of grades focused on techniques and kata that they were experienced in.
Hopefully it will boost Rebecca's confidence in instructing and was an enjoyable session for our members.
Hope to see you all this Wednesday.

SSKC @ Hambleton

Following your requests at the SSKC AGM we have made arrangements for a 2nd training night for graded SSKC members.

We will be running a session at Hambleton C of E Primary School, Gateforth Lane, Hambleton, Selby, YO8 9HP every Wednesday from 18.30 to to 20.00hrs, commencing on the 22nd July 2009.

We have made arrangements initially for 3 months and will make permanent arrangements once we can fully assess take up. The facility will be open to all SSKC graded members to allow you to improve your depth of karate knowledge between grades, rather than concentrate on core syllabus only.

Long-term we will have to set a rate which is self-financing for those members that take part, but initially we will require a 4 weekly subscription of £10.00.

We look forward to seeing as many karateka as possible at Hambleton.
