Booking Process - Small Halls
We're one week in to the exam season and the new system has worked well so far and we haven't had any classes that have been overfilled too much. Thank you for your support so far. I've added everyone's bookings (for the first 4 weeks so far) to your website/mobile app accounts. Some students have multiple accounts so if you can't find your booking please email us (info@berkshiremartialarts.co.uk) and we will let you know which account has been used for the bookings. We will add bookings for the remaining classes shortly.
Please continue to only attend your allocated classes (unless space is available in other sessions - see the booking pages in your account) and please make sure you cancel your bookings for any classes you cannot attend.

- 9am, Sunday 26th May, Brakenhale School. Currently 12 places remaining. Click here to book!

Korean Terminology
The words for this months’ Korean terminology challenge can be found below. Little Ninja students need to learn these words in Korean and repeat them correctly to a Chief Instructor to receive a terminology stamp. Only one stamp per month. If you do not have a terminology sheet one can be found in the "documents & forms" section of the student portal. This month’s words are:
- Outwards Block
- Inwards Block
- Low Block
