Its September again and training has started, after the August break, with the same standard class times (details here on the CLASS TIMES page) so see you all back and do feel free to come along and try a class if you’ve never attended before.
Hi everyone. Like previous years there is NO training during August. The next class will be Thursday September the 2nd 2010 so hope to see you all then.
Grading today went very well. Not many took part but those who did all passed with a range of grades from white belts up to brown belts.
The advanced (1st Kue) brown belts were preparing for their black belt grading (Shodan) that will take place later this year - I’m not sure how well they got on.. (especially as one of them broke a certain Sensai’s finger earlier this week…)
Just announced at this evenings training: The next grading date is 10th July 2010
It’s June and Aragane Sensei is back taking classes. No word yet on upcoming grading dates but I’m guessing a July date is a possibility - more will be posted here when available. As always the class times page details when classes are held at the Glenview hotel so feel free to come along.

Jan/2010 newsletter
Hi everyone,
The next grading is taking place on SATURDAY THE 20TH OF FEBRUARY 2010 at 11AM. More information is in the January newletter which you can view here: http://www.glenviewkarate.com/media/GVK-Jan-2010.pdf. Also in this newsletter: Aragane Sensei is taking classes until 26/Feb/2010, Roisin and Tristan win the Kakora awards in 2009 and everyone must pay their bills or else.
It was announced on Thursday that Aragane Sensei will be back and taking classes from December 2009 through to Feburary 2010. Everyone has been asked to try to make it look like we’ve practised and learnt something since he was last with us. And no mention of any possible grading dates yet but it’ll be here if/when known…
As in previous years there will be NO classes during August. This means the last class will be this Thursday (the 30th of July 2009). Classes will resume in September (Tuesday the 1st of September 2009). Until then enjoy the holidays and don’t get too lazy.
This Thursday (9th July 2009) will be the final day with Aragane Sensei as he will shortly be leaving for Japan.
Grading on Saturday went very well with a high standard generally.
