News Update

Dear All..

First off Congragulations !

Congragulations to all of the students who passed the yellow belt grading ..well done to each and everyone of you...

Getting Ready for Orange.

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.

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
Physical Response v's Acquiesce Response

Trainee Instructors will be acting in assistance to this course and it promises to be of value to anyone attending so please try to bring anyone along that you may feel would benefit.
