Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and even those that didn't win were still smiling!(Obviously not trying hard enough!!)

That makes 1 match each and a return is planned for early in 2007, this time in Biggin Hill. Follow this link to see some of the better photos of the day.

The new projector system will be with us in the Autumn, as a brilliant training aid. Saturday afternoon club starts in October.(See above).

Although we are very pleased with all of our students during May and Junes sessions, Display team events and competitions, we were unable to nominate anyone for the student of the month award. It is not given lightly and the high standards set previously must be achieved to maintain its true importance to the recipient.
The student of the Month, for April 2006, was Rachel Williams. Consideration had been taken of her Attendance, Attitude and Achievements. The Three A's. Rachel has represented the club in Competitions, earning Bronze against Darrick Wood and Silver at Shooters Hill. Rachel has attended all the Budo day events, helps put out the mat and Kamiza display and is a hard working member of the display team. She jumped two grades in her recent grading tests after putting in a lot of effort. Will it be you next time?? Follow the News Archive link for past recipients.

The last competition at Green Dragon Club on 9th July was seen as yet another great success. Very Good Turnout.
Sunday 22nd October we have another invitation to the South London Open Tournament being held at Whiteoaks Centre on Swanley. Two Budo days in the Autumn, one in Croydon, to mark the re-opening of the Croydon Dojo, and our own one. Location to be agreed. We've done it several times on the trot at Darwin Sports centre, and we do enjoy visiting other clubs. More info when available.
The final event in the busy summer season finished brilliantly at the Biggin Hill festival. Well done to everyone involved.
(Pictures and some video will be added very soon.) This was our sixth year attending local events with our popular display team. Next year must be even better and selections will start in the Autumn with the first practice day much earlier on in the new year. The team needs a mix of ages and abilities to act as a show case for the club. We are looking to develop more set pieces, self defense, Kata and to raise the tempo of some of the other parts of the display. All videos and pictures from these events gratefully received and what I have will be posted to the Website We have been invited to do a demonstration on the 23rd September during the Darwin School Open day. Still in the planning stages at the moment. Other options also being planned. Let us know if you are available. If you don't have a club badge, please see Sensei Bob as soon as possible.
Any comment gratefully received. Please use the Contact Us link or the tab at the top of the page.
