What an exciting start to 2026 for our Under 16s programme 

We wanted to share some of the successes we have had this month accross our Under 16 Programme with some of the kids earning their next belt levels, or stripes. 

When we originally moved away from traditional grading approach we were nervous as to how this may impact the kids and their learning BUT it has honestly been an amazing decision to make. 

The kids are learning at THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL pace. Removing the pressure of grading we have seen the kids flourish in a more natural way when it comes to their learning, and have been really impressed in what we have been seeing each week on the mats. 

Well done to everyone who has worked hard this month - keep turning up, keep trying, you are all smashing it.
