We are delighted to invite you to a special seminar on Sunday 17th March, as we welcome the Karate Union of Great Britain’s Chief Instructor, Sensei Andy Sherry (9th Dan), to Bristol! Booking is NOW OPEN!

Sensei Sherry is an inspiration to those who train under him. He was the first ever KUGB grand champion, winning both Kata and Kumite in 1968, and was also the first ever European champion, winning the kata event in the same year. Today, at age 75, Sensei shows no signs of slowing down and leads by example when teaching.

This latest seminar takes place at Nailsea School on Sunday 17th March and will consist of two classes and a KUGB grading for those eligible. Club members that aren’t sure if they will be eligible should check their My Grading page online, where you can see whether you’ve completed enough sessions and have permission to grade. Permission to grade will be given out one of our special pre-grading classes (see the information sheet for full details of when these will take place).

This event is open to non-members. Running times are as follows: 
  • Venue opens: 11.30am
  • All-grade seminar: 12.00-1.30pm
  • Kyu grading: 1.30-2.45pm
  • Dan grade seminar: 3.00-4.30pm

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

Registration for both members and visitors from other clubs is now open! You can book in person or by emailing us. You don’t have to be grading in order to join the seminars.

If you’re hoping to grade, please read the grading-specific information in our information sheet to make sure we can accept your booking.
