CELEBRATIONS FOR MATLOCK GO-DAI KARATE CLUB!

Being presented with his Dan grade certificate by Sensei Nigel Briggs, 6th Dan, is Sensei Sonny, watched by Sensei Jason Nesbeth 4th Dan and other students of Matlock Go-Dai Karate Club

Matlock Go-Dai Karate Club celebrates another black-belt success!

Sonny Field from Matlock now joins the elite, having taken a gruelling grading to gain his 1st Dan junior karate black-belt under the watchful eye of the Association’s Chair, Sensei Duncan Hardy, 8th Dan.

Sonny started training when he was only six years old. His instructor Sensei Nigel Briggs said, “It is unusual, but very rewarding for someone so young to continue their training, which can be extremely tough, through to black-belt status, but Sonny has shown determination and dedication to his karate training over the years since starting at Matlock Go-Dai Karate Club”.

With the modern day demands on time, it is fantastic to see each year, more students, reaching these levels now.

Beginners are always welcome at the club which meets every Tuesday evening at the Arc Leisure Centre. New Adult beginners’ classes are now available from 7 to 8:30 pm, with Juniors (6-11’s) training from 6 to 7pm.
