High Degrees for Stafford, Codsall and Cannock Lau Gar Students

Even more Black Sash Success for Stafford Clubs!

Hi All,
   What unbelievable news I have for you all. Following our students’ recent success at the Black Sash Gradings, I am extremely pleased to announce even more success within our clubs. During the week’s training in Llandudno at the end of July with Master Yau, the following students achieved their 4th and 5th Degree Black sashes respectively. What a depth of talent we have in our clubs. I feel very privileged and proud to be able to teach such an outstanding bunch of students. Practice, practice and more practice is the key or to use another of my favourite set of “P” words, Practice, Patience and Perseverance.
I’m sure they would all like to express their thanks to their fellow students who have trained alongside them over these last few years.

“Since turning to full time teaching Kung Fu and Kickboxing he has not looked back, he has added a further array of skills in spin, core exercise, Nordic walking, personal training and running. He is a man of action, one day he may slow up so I can catch him and have an energetic drink with him,” gasped Pete.
