Latest news as of 14/10/2025

Hi all, hope you’re doing well!

Firstly, well done to everyone for your efforts over the last few weeks — you’re all stepping up and pushing to be the best you can be.

To those working towards your Black Belts, Star Grades, and 2nd Dans, we’re now peaking — so keep that momentum going as we push for the prize!

⚠️ Important – Last Pre-Grade This Saturday
• Please do not be late.
• Grand Master will be taking this final session.
• I’ll be there supporting you all the way.
• Star Grades: You’ll do your pre-grade first, followed by your star grading. Please note you still need to pay for your pre-grade separately.

🔴 Red Belts, Black Tags & Black Belts

If you want to grade, you must attend the pre-grade like everyone else.

❌ If you don’t attend (as per TAGB rules), you’ll miss the next grading and will have to wait twice as long to grade again.

📅 All dates were shared last December, so please check those and plan accordingly.

🏆 British Championships – Last Comp of the Year

Don’t forget to get your entries in! Let’s get some teams in for patterns and tag teams. It’ll be a great event to finish the year strong.

📚 Private Sessions

If you’re struggling with anything, now is the time to book a private. You may only need one or two sessions to tidy up those last details and really stand out.

🎄 Family Christmas Party – Railway Club

It’s going really well as always. Please remember this is all for the club, and you all come first, so your support means everything.

🙏 A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes into this — both before and after the event.

📚 Last year’s raffle supported Houlton Primary School to help them get new books — let’s do more good this year too!

🥋 Seminar & Thank You

Thank you to those who supported the recent seminar training session — your support is very much appreciated.

Thanks also for the belts, book, and balloons (yes, lol). You know me — I don’t like the spotlight. It’s not about me, it’s about you all being your best. I’ve been there, done it — now it’s club first.

📸 Photos & videos will be released after the British Champs once I receive my award — so please, no social media posts until then.

💥 New Club Plans

💫 Demo Team & P4 Squad – Applications Opening Soon!

I’ll be adding a page to the website shop for those interested in joining the P4 Squad or the Demo Team.
• You’ll be able to apply directly online.
• There will also be a questionnaire to complete.

This will help make sure you’re ready and confident. Questions will include:
• Are all your stances on point?
• Can you confidently perform all your three-step sparring?
• Are you solid in two-step and all your patterns up to your current grade?

You need to be confident, committed, and ready to train to perform.

🔥 Demo Team – Tricks & Skills Training

We’ll be training for demo performances including:
• Jump spin kick break
• Pattern to music
• Flying kick over students
• Double break in the air
• Blindfolded spin kick & back kick

This is just the tip of the iceberg — the talent is already here, now it’s time to step it up.

🥇 Monthly Squad Training (Coming Soon)

We’re planning a monthly squad training session focused on competition:
• Patterns
• Sparring

This gives everyone a chance to level up, improve results, and rise to the top.

💬 You have to do the extras to be the best.

Everyone is welcome, but you’ve got to be on it.
Thanks for reading to the end — not everyone does, and then they miss out!
Let’s finish this year strong — proud of you all.
Mr. Carter
