Student Of The Year 18/12/2024

Huge congratulations to Matty, who is our student of the year for 2024. Matty has always worked hard in training, but has really stepped up as a senior this year. He competed in full kumite for the first time in June, and performed brilliantly. He took a hard hit, and though it shook him, he got back on the mat and finished the fight with a strong and determined attitude. He listens to advice from instructors, and it's easy to tell he is working on things at home - exemplified by the improvement in his stance in the last few weeks. He's always willing to help others, such as helping Mosi prepare for her Dan grading kumite, but equally with the juniors and their one-step. He trains with spirit, and always gets good attitude comments at our gradings. We are very proud. Well done, Matty.
