COVID 19
After being closed for months we are now on the way to reopening. Obviously due to the current climate we have changes to implement and procedures to put in place for the safety of Students and Instructors alike.
The most significant change will be that we will be fully non contact now. That means no pads for a while or sparring. We will also have hand cleaning station at all venues, marked areas for students to train to aid with social distancing and taking register for the government track and trace scheme.
we will be abiding by Government legislation as well as our governing body and venues guidance for returning to training. Things will be different for a while but we will eventually go back to some sort of normality but for now its to get back in to practice before we all forget how to do it.

From Canada With Love At Our Wisbech Class
On Thursday 9th July we had students come all the way from Canada to try out our kickboxing class. Maybe it wasn't the only reason they came to the UK but it was great that they used time out of their family holiday to give it a go. Once we expand across the pond I'm sure we'll have 6 new students but until then I'm not sure they'll be back this week! Thanks for coming though and we hope you all had a great holiday.
Club WIde Success At GRading
Congratulations to everyone who graded on Saturday 20th June for achieving your next belt. It takes hard work and dedication to pass so you should all be very proud of yourselves. Sensei Dev Barrett from WAKO GB was in attendance and gave some insightful feedback to each and every student who graded so make sure you all take this on board. The next grading date will be confirmed soon so keep training hard and we'll keep you posted.
Times Are Changing At Our Wisbech Club
Due to the incredible support from all our members and The Wisbech Town FC we've now got more than 25 members at our Wisbech Club. This means we've had to split the class to allow us to give everyone the attention they deserve from us and provide more space. The junior and adult classes are not a strict age limit but it is the best way to split the class. This helps us to make sure we don't get lots of people at one session and nobody at the other which would defeat the object of changing the times. If this is a problem for anyone please don't hesitate to contact us.
Class Times
Juniors (Aged 5 to 12) - Thursday from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
Adults (Aged 13+) - Thursday from 7:30pm to 8:30pm

A Great Kick-About At The Curlew Centre
We were out and about again this bank holiday but this time we were in Sutton Bridge at the Curlew Centre Fun Day. Luckily the weather held off for the most part and there were plenty of takers for their FREE go ready for our Monday class at the Curlew Centre. For more information visit our Classes Page. There was mini golf, bouncy castles, candy floss and much more. Hopefully we can get booked up again for next year!
Stars Put On A Vintage Display At Stradsett Park Vintage Rally
Over the bank holiday weekend we were at the 39th Stradsett Park Vintage Rally which was held on Sunday 3rd & Monday 4th May. The weather was terrible on the Sunday morning until 1pm when it did eventually brighten up. The Monday on the other hand couldn't have been better! The weather was beautiful and the rally had record numbers attending in a single day. All our instructors were there for everyone to have a FREE go and to put on displays all weekend. We enjoyed every second and can't wait to go next year for their 40th Anniversary (if they'll have us that is!)
3 Month Anniversary For Our New Wisbech Club
Since opening our new Wisbech club in January 2015 it has gone from strength to strength even after moving venue to our permanent home at the Wisbech Town Football Club. We now have nearly 20 new members at the club all of whom we would like to thank for their commitment and continued support each week. Over the coming weeks they will have their first grading so they can show off what they've learnt.
Belts Galore As Students Shine At Grading
All the weeks of hard work finally paid of when we had grading on the 5th and12th March with all students achieving their well deserved belts. We had grading at our Kings Lynn club on Thursday 5th March 2015 where we had a great night which included 2 of our students gaining a brown belt which takes massive commitment so well done. The following Thursday was grading at our Sutton Bridge club where everyone done fantastic especially one junior who done incredibly well to achieve his brown belt at the age of just 9!
Stars Spend The Day AT KES School, Kings Lynn
King Edward VII Academy in Kings Lynn were kind enough to invite us to join in with their Year 7's Healthy Active Lifestyles Day on 26th February 2015 which was to promote a healthy body, healthy mind. Whether that be changing a fizzy drink for a glass of water or joining a club outside of school. Throughout the day we taught roughly 220 students spread across 4 lessons which was an incredible experience! All the students were extremely well behaved and a credit to the school. The P.E department were fantastic and welcomed us with open arms. We can't wait to see you all again soon. For pictures of our day, visit our Facebook page or check out our Gallery.
