Tesco Bulwell Extra is now our venue for all Karate lessons

Updated Training Schedule

We have now moved all of our lessons to Tesco Bulwell Extra and are very happy with the set up there.  Many thanks to Chris Tilley, their Community Champion, for making it happen.

As a result, we've put a third class on in the schedule for Tigers (5-7 year olds).  The week's training schedule now looks like this:

Mondays & Wednesdays 

6:15 - 7pm Meiyo Tigers (5-7 years old)

7 - 8pm under 16s.

8 - 9pm adults.

Saturdays

9:00 - 9:30am Meiyo Tigers (5-7 years old)

9:30 - 10:30am Under 16s. 

10:30 - 11:30am Adults.

Venue: Tesco Bulwell Extra

Free car parking on site. 

Please feel free to come in and try a week of free lessons to see how you get on.

Training Costs:

If 3 or more members of the same family train together (eg 2 parents 1 child, 1 parent 2 children etc) - the youngest trains free. 

We are restricted to 20 places, first come first served.  Students must attend a minimum of 2 classes per week to be able to grade.

Changes at Meiyo Karate Club and an Update, Bulwell, Nottingham

First of all, congratulations to everyone that graded with Sensei Oliver on Sunday last.  You all did very well and are a credit to the dojo.  Also, well done to everyone that turned up to train with Sensei Oliver.  These 3 courses plus the course with Sensei Yamazaki are our compulsory courses.

Some of you are aware that we've been waiting for the JKR to issue our new grading syllabus.  Sensei Oliver issued it today and it's live on www.meiyo.org.uk.  I'm sure, like me, you'll enjoy getting to grips with the changes and they'll help us to develop a more diverse self defence system within ourselves.

Our costs had to be temporarily raised to pay for our new training venue because not everyone could get to this venue.  Once we have our numbers back up, I will reduce the costs to the previous levels ... this will mean that the charges will drop from a £15 weekly subscription to a £10 weekly subscription for 3 lessons per week.

Adult classes and children's classes are split now.  Kids start at 7pm, adults at 8pm on Monday and Thursday evenings.  On Saturday mornings, kids start at 9:30am and adults at 10:30am.

Come and try a week of free lessons and see how you get on.  If you've trained with an organisation that we recognise and you're returning to training or transferring in, we'll start you off at the same grade.

See you at the dojo.

Yamazaki Sensei Seminar 2016 & Meiyo KC's Student of the Month

Sensei Yamazaki provided us with yet another inspiring seminar in September.

As well basic techniques and correct attitude, the all grades course focused on stringing techniques together, enabling karateka to flow from one technique to another;  a valuable lesson for all of us.






Sensei's teachings are valued by karateka from many other affiliations and it's always good to meet up with people from other clubs and exchange ideas on how we run our clubs etc.


Two of Meiyo karate Club's junior members caught Sensei Yamazaki's attention and were brought to the front to demonstrate some techniques to other members of the class - Well done Saul and Hannah!

It's important to remember the route you took in the development of your Karate - although a personal journey, the influences of your Senseis will have made their mark upon you.  This is why we try to provide images of your development so that when you go on to become a Dan grade or a teacher yourself, you'll have a pictorial history of your own development and will remember people like Yamazaki Sensei and Oliver Sensei and the parts that they play, and will continue to play, in the development of our Karate.

At Meiyo KC, I award the hardest working student an award every month.  I take account of your attendance (minimum of 2 lessons per week), your effort and your progression through elements of your grading syllabus.

Congratulations to Kristyana for being this month's winner.  She works hard at her Karate and clearly gives 100% commitment to her training.  Keep up the good work!  

We currently have vacancies for both adults and children. If you'd like to pop in and try a free lesson, please get in touch.  Just wear some loose fitting track suit bottoms and a full necked T-shirt and come in to one of the sessions.  Full details of our training times are on www.meiyo.org.uk.

I hope to see you at the dojo soon.
