Saturday training

Following recent Government Covid guidelines, we are suspending Saturday sessions for the foreseeable future.
We will monitor any new advice given by the Government and look at reopening the Saturday Dojo when safe to do so.

Thank you to all our students who have supported the club this year, we know its frustrating not being able to practice karate to the full, hopefully, in time we will get back to some normality with our karate training.

Keep safe

Dan Grading 2020

Well done to Rocco Borghese who successfully passed Shodan 29th August 2020
Rocco has trained hard over the lockdown period and put a lot of time and effort into achieving Shodan.

Next Dan Grading 12th December 2020

After discussions with sensei Rich, we have decided to hold a dan grading on 12th December.
With the situation unlikely to change for some time regarding contact training, we felt it would be unfair to make you wait another year at least to take the grading you have all worked so hard for.
The grading will concentrate mainly on basic techniques, combinations and kata. These parts of the grading will be increased to make up for the lack of contact kumite. Kumite will be of the socially distanced type (I will explain when I see you).
It goes without saying that you will need to train very hard especially as we will only have one session a week for the foreseeable future.
All dan grades should do the extra half hour for advanced training on Saturdays.
Please make sure you all know your syllabus if you wish to grade.
Enfield Karate Club expects the highest quality for all our Dan grade students

If you have any questions about your grading please ask one of the Sensei's
