Dojo's Friend

Dojo has decided that his friend for their hard work during the month of February is....Isla.

Isla began her Karate journey with us on the 6th August 2012. She has quickly picked up numerous skills her best being a fantastic Mae geri.

During training,Isla ensures that not only does she listen carefully to instructions, but she listens and learns the Japanese words and phases.  This is important as later on when you go for your orange belt, nearly all the moves are requested in Japanese! By learning them now it is one less problem to worry about later.
I wonder if sibling rivalry is the reason behind Isla's fantastic moves, poor Finley.......
However to be the best you need a great opponent, so Isla take care, Finley may have his eyes on Dojo next!


( We always encourage students to practise at home. However, practising with family members is only allowed with parental consent under their direct supervision, and yes, your parents have to actually say "yes" BEFORE you jump out on them like a ninja screaming "kiai".)
