Excellent effort team! Karate News by Glen Archer - 2021-10-302021-10-300 We have to let you know how well our higher ranked coloured belt students did today with Josh, Kit Kat, Deklan, and Lars all completing 50 push-ups, sit-ups, and squats in one block this morning during warmup. We broke them into teams of two - one student coaching the other, encouraging and cheering their partner through to completion. Not only that, after a drink break they did two rounds of 50 roundhouse kicks against kick shields, and 7 x 1 minute rounds of sparring. … and if you were out and about this morning - you’d have felt the heat and humidity. Future Black belts being forged in a cauldron, no less! We’re so proud of them all! #karate #RoadsToGrading
