Wednesday class

I'm really enjoying the Wednesday night class at Archdales. The new students there are brill!

Monday class at Oaklands

There have been a lot of changes recently but following a student questionnaire the class will run 7-8pm up until September then 7-8.30. If you do not wish to stay for the extra half hour it is not a problem.

Health & safety

No jewellery in class.
Please tie hair back.

Website

Please check this website regularly for updates, especially for updates to the events list. You will also find details of services available from students within the association. Have a look as there may be discounts for White Lotus members.

New students

All students are welcome to attend any courses and events - you will not be out of place or left behind - new students are very important to the association.

If you have a previous grade in another style please come and discuss grading options with your instructor as it is not always necessary to start from white belt.

Blackbelt grading

It's time for the hard work to begin for the black belt grading in November - attendance is paramount.

Student choice

If there is any activity in a class that you do not feel comfortable participating in for whatever reason, please speak to your instructor.

Student of the month

Please see here.

Attendance

It has been brought up at a recent instructor meeting that attendance is patchy for some people and tends to be better round gradings. As a result we are introducing a minimum session time in between gradings - starting April 1st.
For blue belts and under you will need a minimum of 12 sessions between gradings and for purple belts and above you will need a minimum of 24 sessions in between gradings. This will be checked at each grading by Sandy Newman and Tina King. So don't forget to bring your attendance book.

The time between gradings, as set out in the syllabus book, still applies.

T-shirt order

I am putting in a new order for t-shirts so if you would like a sweatshirt/vest/polo can you please let me know asap.

Facebook

Please make friends with Martial Arts White Lotus on facebook to receive up to date class info.
We are unable to accept friends who are under 13 so if you are, please get your parents to be friends instead.

No more Kata!

As of April 1st it is no longer compulsory to do katas in your gradings, even for blackbelt. You will need to select kata, fitness (padwork) or sparring. You will still need to spa briefly in your dan gradings.
Kata will still be taught in class from time to time.

All instructors need to be competent in all aspects of the syllabus.

Welcome back Andy

We are very lucky to have Andy White back with the association. He runs a ju-jitsu class on Thursdays in Drybrook - please see here for times.

Gradings

As of July 1st all gradings will be at either the Lyppards Community Centre, Worcester or Malvern (venue tbc) or Bishopswood Village Hall (FoD). Students are free to attend any grading venue as long as their instructor feels that they are ready and that they have done the required amount of time.
There will be no in-class gradings unless arranged with the founder.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries at all.
