The KUGB offers a series of free Black & Brown Belt Courses each year spread across the UK. These courses feature 90-minute sessions of detailed instruction, helping participants fine-tune their Karate skills for upcoming gradings.
Today’s course in Grantham, led by our Senior Instructors Sensei Jim Brennan (8th Dan) and Sensei Frank Brennan (8th Dan), was the first of 2024 and it was fantastic to see so many people there to train regardless of whether they were grading or not.
Congratulations to everyone who successfully passed their gradings:
