Congratulations to Fi Groves for being awarded the Sensei Malc Bradley annual award for karate excellence for 2024. This was presented to Fi by Sensei Malc’s Bradley daughter Emma Ram and son Natan Bradley. This award is in memory to Sensei Malc Bradley who was senior instructor at the club for many years who sadly passed away on December 31st, 2021. The trophy is awarded for the student who has excelled in their training over the year. Fi has done this by successfully grading for her Sho-Dan (1st degree black belt). The long-standing Tony Hunns adult award for excellence and commitment went to Amanda Osman (Tonys daughter) and was presented to Amanda by her daughter Jess Osman. This was also for Amanda successfully grading for her Ni-Dan. (2nd degree black belt). Over the past 11years Amanda has presented this award to previous club members, as the shield is now full Amanda will now keep it. The Sensei Dave Meyrick Junior award was presented to Connor Taylor-Barnes by his brother Clayton. Again this was for successfully grading for his Ni-Dan. (2nd degree black belt). Connor who started training at the club in 2016 aged seven is the first junior club member to achieve this grade Over the years FI, Amanda and Connor have shown commitment and dedication to their training and to the club and are worthy winners of these awards.
