The club has just enjoyed it's most successful week ever.

From 5th to 9th February we hosted the Wado Karate Federation 2024 Gasshuku here in Hua Hin, based at the Life Centre adjacent to the Monkey Field at the foot of Hin Lek Fai. We had delegates from the UK, Spain, Trinadad, New Zealand, USA, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Hong Kong and Canada in attendance. The Federation's Chief Instructor, Sensei George Grimes, 8th Dan Kyoshi Shihan was the main delegate.

We took the opportunity to have the club's 4 senior students graded for Black Belt - they all passed with flying colours. All four students have trained with me for many years and had collectively clocked up 4695.5 hours of dojo training time (yes, we don't sell black belts, you have to earn them in the WKF).
