Sensei Dave Hazard Seminar 2012

Our annual seminar with sensei Hazard has been arranged for the 24th & 25th March 2012. This is one of our most important events of the year. Please make a special effort to make arrangements and attend this course. Ssuport your association, clubs and fellow members.
Thanks.

4th Dan Attainment

Congratulations to sensei's John Hallett and Matthew Lloyd on achieving their 4th Dan's. Both have been honoured for their advancement, dedication, and commitment to the WKU.

A SPECIAL ONE DAY SEMINAR
FOR ALL MEMBERS

A big thank you to all those members who supported this event.

It was disappionting to see less than 20% of our membership made the effort to attend.

However, as a result, by the much appreciated support we will be donating £500 to the neo-natal ward at the
University Hospital of Wales.

This ward houses children from all over Wales who are born with severe life threatening problems, which sadly not all survive. The moneys we donate will go a long way to help these children and their families at this extremely difficult time.

Many thanks again for your support and help for this worthy cause.

KARATE

Karate is one of the most popular martial arts practiced today.
Karate is for Just About Everyone.
Karate is for all ages and both sexes.
Karate is a great physical workout, no matter how young or old you are, and no matter what shape you are in when you start.
Karate is a way to a better life, not just a method of fighting.
Karate is great for the mind (concentration) and the spirit (emotional stability).

There is no such thing as the perfect martial art. Nor is there any one art that is better than another or all the rest.

The art is not better, only the practitioner.
But, remember that on any given day, anyone can beat anyone!
