Thanks to everyone for all your support and loyalty in 2011, Here’s to another great year in 2012 our 19th Year of running clubs in the Nottingham area, we will be running many seminars, and inter-club competitions again, including the usual Weapons courses, Grappling courses, and hopefully a one day International seminar in the summer. There will be 4 Coloured belt gradings as usual and 2 Dan Gradings, good luck to everyone who is hoping to pass belts this year, particularly those who are hoping to reach Black Belt. Keep warching this site for all up to date news.

See you all in Class!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,400 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.
