Childrens grading was held in october...the kids did extremely well and were all graded according to their progress. they can now look forward to receiving their new belts and grading certificates after school half-term.

NEW CHILDRENS CLASS

The new childrens class is now up and running on mondays. the aim is to create a supportive environment for the younger children in this class whilst enabling the youth class to continue in a more suitably intensive way.

Our new YOUTH CLASS has already stepped up the training level.....the youth classes are on wednesdays from 5.00-6.30 pm. youth now also have extra options: you are welcome to train in the adult class also on fridays from 5.00pm and of course you are very welcome to train also on mondays with the younger kids. dont be put off by the idea of training with all those little ones because if you come we'll make sure its worth your while and that you learn something too!

PARENTS AND FAMILY TRAINING---

parents! you are very welcome to practise in the dojo with your children- this will definitely encourage your kids as well as providing a precious opportunity for fun interaction between you...a quality time experience that you can be sure they'll appreciate and treasure as the years pass. i know you'll understand how important this is nowadays when our busy schedules make every minute we can spend with our kids in meaningful interaction and play....priceless.

AND at the same timeyou'll learn self defence and lose a few pounds too (of weight that is!...up to now we dont charge any fee for parents who choose to take us up on this....its such a good thing to do! well done mr hamer and carls dad!

not to mention sensei colin-whose family seem to be about 1/2 the dojo ...and sensei nick and sensei darren whose children make such a welcome addition to the training..(and sempai martin and james...)...bearing in mind that i've been teaching martial arts now for about 40 years - we're already well into our 3rd generation of students...

THE SOURCE CAFE AWAITS....

alternatively-if the training regime still hasnt grabbed you -You can enjoy a well deserved break upstairs in the chilled-out source cafe. Manager Kevin now opens it early especially for parents who can sit, relax , have a coffe perhaps or use the internet while waiting for their children to finish training.

OUR NEW VERY SPECIAL PC SENSEI JIM!

we are proud to see that sensei jim has now joined the ranks of carlisles finest ...if anybody feels like testing his reflexes on bothchergate saturday nights -its not to be advised! He joins our very dear SEMPAI ARNOLD who for many years now has been doing a really good job helping the citizens of carlisle to feel secure and looked after. seriously -they're doing a really important job and i'm sure their confidence ,skills and courtesy will be such a boon for carlisle. we should all feel very proud of them. i certainly do.
