Student of the month Max champion.

Well done to Zak Lynn, Max Champion, Laurie Wilcockson and Ben register who all did fantastic in their grading's last month. It is amazing how they have all changed so much in a very short time. When they turned up for their first lesson they all cried and didn't want to do it.

They were so confident during their grading and gave it 100%. It was great to see them so excited and pleased to receive their new belt and certificate. I look forward to seeing you all at the Christmas party next month. Well done for all your hard work over the last few months.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Christmas party next month.

The Saturday juniors are in a league of their own, they are truly amazing to watch. It didn't matter what I asked them to do or how far I pushed them they just kept getting back up. Two students that really stood out were Elise Daw and Jade Hawkins.

If you look at my new report "MY RISING STARS" you will be able to read about their amazing grading. The Saturday class really make me realise that I have the best job in the world. I am so honoured to have such talented and respectful students in my classes.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Christmas party next month.

A great student is so many ways.

Grace is developing into a talented martial artist and I look forward to the day that she moves into the junior class to show the boys how it should be done.

Adults warming up.

Welcome to two new adults to the class Mark Poole, who is the dad of Mia and Jacob that I teach on Saturday, and to Mark Mcwade who I teach his son on a Monday evening. I have had more dads join the class in the last few months then I have ever had join in the last eight years. They are both great guys and I really enjoying themselves in the lessons, except when it comes to doing a really beastie session. I will try and take some photos of them training to put in next months report.

Good luck to Rhea Sloman who will be grading to blue belt next month, and to Natalie Jones and Adam Murgatroyd who are both going for yellow belt.

Congratulations to both of them for taking part in the hardest and most amazing induction weekend that has ever taken place. They did the Thetford dojo and themselves very proud.

Welcome to four new members to the junior class Brodie Good, Matthew Meader, Lucy Pullen and Kirsty Pullen. They have all settled into what is a big class at the Brandon dojo. I can't believe that next year we will be celebrating five years since the Brandon dojo first started.

Many times in the early days I really thought it wouldn't take off. I am already starting to organise a celebration party for all the students plus the Thetford dojo to come along.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Christmas party next month.

Welcome back to Darren smith, it is great to see him back training. He is taking it very slowly, especially when it comes to doing any thing that involves his knee. The adult class is growing very, very slowly.

Maybe Ishin Ryu is too much for adults in Dereham or it's much easier to take up karate of kok soo won. Hopefully when Christmas is out of the way we will get some new blood into the club.
