Leg Protectors
Reminder that all students who are purple belt and above must own a pair of leg protectors. These should be used at all times when taking part in a drill that requires the use of protective equipment.
It was apparent on the latest grading day that many senior ranked students still do not own leg protection. Owning the correct protective equipment for your belt rank (hand protectives for yellow belt and above, leg protectives for purple belt and above) is a requirement to be able to grade and everyone must state on their grading registration form that they have the correct protective equipment.
Going forward anyone who does not own the correct protective equipment for their belt rank may find they are removed from the grading and no refund will be given.
All necessary equipment can be purchased through the club store: https://berkshire-martial-arts.myshopify.com/collections/protection
Small Hall Warning
This is advanced notice that we are expecting to be back in the small halls again from May until June due to exams taking place in the Sports Hall.
During this time we will be trialling a different system for getting people booked in for sessions which should be easier for students and will guarantee places in class. We will provide details of how this will work later in the month.
Women's Self Defence Class
The next women's self defence classes are:
- 9am, Sunday 28th April, Brakenhale School. Currently 7 places remaining. Click here to book!
- 9am, Sunday 26th May, Brakenhale School. Currently 11 places remaining. Click here to book!Â
These classes are open to all women regardless of whether or not they are a Berkshire Martial Arts student.
What's on?
