Miss Beecroft
I am a mother of 2, and never in a million years thought about training in a martial art. However, in March 2012 my son asked me to come along and join in with his karate class.
Within a few weeks it was clear that I was going to enjoy this martial art and a short time later I was over the moon to be graded for the first time.
Over the years that have followed, I have moved through my belts and in April 2016 was awarded my Shodan black belt (1st level).
Karate has truly changed my life and been an outlet for me when life has been tough. It's given me the confidence to believe in myself, and along the way I can truly say been blessed with some amazing friendships.
Mrs Weir
A mother of 3 and having previously trained in Shotokan Karate as a young girl, I had to stop training due to injuries. I decided to start training again with T.A.S.K in January 2014, grading to 1st kyu in July 2015.
I have trained in various other martial arts over the years, but Shotokan karate is where my heart is.
Setting up this club gives me the ability to pass on my knowledge and passion to future generations.
Mr Herbert
I have trained in Shotokan Karate for 8 years, and on 23rd April 2016 I was awarded my Shodan.
I originally started karate as a hobby and something fun to do, however when I moved up to secondary school I began to take it more seriously.
Karate has taught me how to have more respect for myself and for others. I've learnt self-defense and become a better person all round.
I enjoy teaching and passing on my knowledge of karate to others so they can improve too.
