Soncho karate club members training hard this week, bringing their A-game

What a week at Soncho karate club!

Everyone brought their A-game—training hard, pushing each other, and showing some amazing leadership. It was inspiring to see Zoë, Amy, Marius and Viraaj step up to confidently lead the kata groups with real skill and focus.

We were thrilled to welcome Claire from Sanjo Karate - HDKI Preston! Claire brought such great energy to the session—and we were all so proud to see her wearing her brand new black belt. Huge congratulations, Claire!

And the surprises didn’t stop there…

It was a real treat to have Smaira and Tej join us for training. Always a pleasure having them join us when they’re around!

Yingtai and Elif were really put to the test by our black belts—and wow, they rose to the challenge! We cranked up the pressure, and they absolutely delivered.

Incredible effort all around this week. Great job everyone - let’s keep that momentum going!
