Grading and training in April was with Sensei John Bruce 6th Dan. Well done to everyone who passed!

we celebrated the retirement from teaching of a very special person.

Sensei Jill Kelly, 7th Dan, has made the decision to retire after setting up the club in 1988 at the YMCA Ashington. Since then the club continued to grow into the fantastic family club it is today.

Sensei Jill was hoping to go without a fuss, but we decided she deserved to be recognised for her dedication and everything she has done for Ashington karate club.

We held a presentation with lots of flowers, gifts, and lots of students past and present, plus friends and families who all came to wish Sensei Jill the very best on her new journey..

This was a very special day for a very special person. We know many more will want to wish Sensei Jill Kelly 7th Dan KUGB  all the very best for the future.

Good luck Sensei - you will always be a very important part of Ashington Karate Club. Thank you from us all.
