Students making the grade
17/ 4/2008
HEYWOOD’S Goju-Ryu club had a 100 per cent pass rate at a recent gradings event.
The successful students were: Matthew Clarke (10) - 9th kyu white; Katie Thornton (8) - 8th kyu yellow; Jorden Seigenberg (7) - 6th kyu green; Matthew Jones (7) - 6th kyu green; Zachary Tait (7) - 6th kyu green; Lewis Brown (9) - 5th blue kyu; George Jones snr - 5th kyu blue; Jordan Shaw (8) - 4th kyu purple; Ben Naughton-Brierley (10) - 1st kyu brown.
Sensei Danny Brierley gave a special mention to Jorden Seigenberg and George Jones who both double graded.
The club meets at Sandon House, Taylor Street on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7pm to 8pm (all ages) all grades £4, and on Saturdays 11am to 12.30pm, £5. No signing up fees.
Beginners are welcome from age six and above, mixed classes for children and adults. Anyone wishing to learn Goju-ryu self defence can wear tracksuit bottoms and a tee-shirt to begin with.
And as Sensei Brierley explained: "There are no quick fixes, the ability to defend yourself is learned, with practice over time."
Got an opinion you want to share?Should the Government provide NHS trusts with more funding to fight MRSA in hospitals?
