Well Done! to Arran Graham, our first student to win the new Hayley Parkinson Award
On Tuesday the 27th August we lost a wonderful and much loved student, Hayley Parkinson
She had trained at the club for many years before she had a break to start a family. In that time she achieved her 2nd dan black belt. She was on the England squad and had won many trophies and medals at tournaments. Hayley had even been selected to take part in the European championships in Sheffield.
Hayley had recently started back with us and had hopes of eventually taking her 3rd dan black belt. Unfortunately she was taken from us before she had the chance.
As a tribute to Hayley the Student of the Year Award has now been changed to the
"Hayley Parkinson Student of the Year Award"
R.I.P

Congratulations to Annica Kelly and Caleb Shaw on receiving your England squad badges
Dan Grading Pass
A huge WELL DONE! to the following students, who have all acheived a massive goal, by passing their highly prestigious dan grading
Rohan Benn aged 9, David Barker aged 10, Archie Appleby aged 11 passed to 1st dan black belts
Leo Burton aged 14, Callum Edwards aged 14, Thomas Broadbent aged 16 and Janet Thompson aged 59 passed to 2nd dan black belt.
Hannah Watts aged 17 passed to 3rd dan black belt
All eight students have been training up for this grading for many years. Attending private lessons and squads as well as their own personal training
The grading took place in Warrington Cheshire and took over 4 hours to complete
Each student must be of a high standard if they are to pass. They need to show a variety of kicks and punches in combination form, kata, self-defence, punching and kicking on a pad and competition fighting.
Their instructors Ian and Rebecca Spence, who teach at The Skipton Academy and at Craven Leisure Centre, would like to say a huge well done to each of them. “They have worked really hard to achieve their goals, and deserve to be black belts”,
