JULY BBQ PARTY!

CLICK BELOW TO TAKE A LOOK AT BBQ PARTY PICTURES!

Saturday 26th July saw the 1st school BBQ Party/disco which dispite the rain was enjoyed by all. A big thanks must go out to all those who helped make the night a success. Caroline, Jenni & Patsy for preparing & serving the food, Richard for surviving the heat of the BBQ, and a big thanks to Chris and Marie for the loan of the Gazebo which, given the weather was much needed, although we almost lost it when we took the idea of flamed grilled burgers too far! Once again thanks to all those that helped out! We will be holding another BBQ Party next year, more details to follow!

EVER THOUGHT OF TRYING THE MARTIAL ARTS?

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS LIMITED TIME SPECIAL OFFER, ALL NEW ADULT STUDENTS THAT WISH TO TRY OUT IN AUGUST WILL RECIEVE, 1 MONTH FREE TRAINING, A FREE UNIFORM AND FREE MEMBERSHIP !

Well here’s your chance! I am inviting all parents & friends to come along and join in with all the fun and action of the martial arts at our new adults class held on WEDNESDAYS 7:00-8:00pm! Before you say I’m too old, too unfit and too inflexible to practice the martial arts, the martial arts are for everybody, regardless of your body shape, age or physical condition. The 1^st two weeks of the course will concentrate on the basics from there you will gradually progress at your own pace.

Here are some of the benefits the martial arts has to offer you:

PHYSICALLY:

Increased Flexibility & Weight Control for better overall fitness.
Increased Strength and Stamina boosts energy so you feel great
Great Cardiovascular Work Out keeps you in good shape physically
Improved Reflexes and Coordination which increases your performance in all physical activities.

SOCIAL:

Make new friends, Social evenings regularly held for all adult class members, bowling, curry nights etc.

MENTAL BENEFITS:

Improved Concentration for better work/study habits.
Stress Reduction & Increased Levels of Relaxation for a longer, healthier life
The Peace of Mind that comes from knowing that you are able to Protect Yourself, your Family & loved ones.
Increased Self Confidence & Self Discipline to develop a positive attitude towards life.

You will start to learn & understand exactly what it takes, mentally and physically, to defend yourself or your loved ones should the need ever arise! Best of all you will have lots of fun, meet new friends and increase your knowledge of the body while you learn! There is no obligation to carry on after the two weeks if the martial arts are not for you, you will still gain a greater understanding of your sons/daughters sport. I invite you to come along you have nothing to lose and all of the above to gain!

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS LIMITED TIME SPECIAL OFFER, ALL NEW ADULT STUDENTS THAT WISH TO TRY OUT IN AUGUST WILL RECIEVE, 1 MONTH FREE TRAINING, A FREE UNIFORM AND FREE MEMBERSHIP !

I look forward to seeing you there!

WHAT DO I WEAR? LOOSE SPORTS CLOTHES.

EXCLUSIVE SENIOR CLUB UNIFORM!

All serious students now have the oppotunity to purchase our senior uniform. The suit is pre-shrunk and made of 100% Polly Cotton. This high quality V-Neck uniform is black with a red panelled neck, arms and legs. The uniform has the Shane Varney’s Karate School print on the back and front with Korean writing both on the legs and chest. The V-Neck uniform is one preferred for quality and comfort, price: £48 ALL SIZES! (Note: This suit is not compulsory for grades, just an addition to the training range). SEE ME IN CLASS TO ORDER YOURS!!!

TRAINING REMINDERS:

Remember students of the grade yellow belt and above are strongly advised to train twice a week, students that train at the very minimum of once/week get the minimum benefits. By training 2+ times per week you will inevitably improve much faster than those training once per week, you learn more and get better, after all the main objective in your study is to gain as much as you can as quick as you can. If you want to be a black belt, you have try to do what black belts do, if you want to be a low levelled student do what they do. See me in class to get information on additional classes.

REMINDER: The time we have for our martial arts training is limited so when you are training make the most of it, get as much as you can out of the session, concentrate, listen & work hard and if you are unsure of anything, ask! If you do this then you are on the right path of getting to a higher level. If you have done anything that you have liked in previous classes and would like to do again, tell me in class and we will do it again!

Exclusive Club Jacket:

Available in both blue & Black, excellent price at only £17! ( see me in class to get yours)
