We were delighted to host guest instructor Sensei John Parnell, 6th Dan again. Sensei John is a great karateka, a good friend of the club and a regular guest. This time, alongside teaching, he was wearing his assessor’s hat and formally confirmed Arianna and Alaina as Sensei and Senpai respectively and awarded Tanya her instructor qualification! These were the first official qualifications awarded under the new instructor and assistant instructor qualifications recently implemented by our association body Shotokan Connect. Their profiles are on our About page.
