Getting Ready for Orange & Phase A Instructor Training Opportunity in Barcelona 11 - 13th April

We now have the orange grading assessments to think of with Thurs 3rd April being Pre-Grading Training, the 4th April being Mock Grading and then finally the 7th being the actual grading test starting at 6.30pm ....

To register for the test you will need to be there for 6.15pm and have done at least 4 - 6 months training after your yellow belt ( depending on how many times a week you trained ).

Costings For The Grading Assessment.

The cost for the grading assessment is £30 per person for which you will receive a certificate and belt ( should you pass ).

Within the above I would also ask that you try to arrive at least 15 mins prior to the grading so that we may have an necessary admin covered prior to your assessment.

On another note I have just received notice that their will be a Phase A instructor training course on 11 - 13th April in Barcelona for those of you who may have missed out on the previous course. It promises to be a great course and an invaluable piee of training should you want to eventually get your black belt or instructor qualification.

2 Hour Free Rape Prevention Seminar.

Furthermore we also have a 2 hour 'Rape Prevention' seminar on Monday April 14th @ 6.30pm at: The University of Westminster, 309 Regent St, Oxford Circus, London, in conjunction with other KMW clubs throughout the world which will be free to the general public & seeing as many of you there as possible would be much appreciated.

This seminar will be 2 hours long and will replace the normal class training format and will cover the following areas:

Avoidance & Awareness
Target Hardening Techniques / Understanding Body Language
Dialoque Entrapments / Dialoque Defences
Known Attack Rituals of Rapists / Countering The Attack
