Welcome to the Enfield CKD November Newsletter:
It’s important as we go through Autumn that we still try and keep active as it’ll generally improve your mood. It is harder especially as the evenings are dark so please keep attending your classes and make time to practicing at home.
|
Please note that there will not be any classes running on Tuesday 1st November at Turkey St.
|
|
Finally be mindful of others and ensure that we keep each other safe by not attending class if you are at all unwell. 🙏🏽

Instructors Run Keeping Safe Sessions
|
|
|
|
In September the instructor team ran sessions for the Brownies and Scouts explaining how to keep safe including some basic close range techniques. We received great feedback from both groups on how useful they found the sessions. It was also lovely meeting one of our ex-students, Martin, in the scouts session. 😁

It’s important that students dress correctly for training.
|

Uniforms should not be crumpled when attending the class.

If you wear a T-Shirt under the uniform then the colour needs to match the uniform which for most students will be white.
|
Belts need to be tied correctly.

To be eligible to test requires a student to have met 2 criteria.
|
|
First complete a minimum of classes as below
|
|
No stripe on the belt – 14 classes
|
A stripe on the belt – 7 classes
|
|
You can check the number of classes on our school website under the Members Section. The below link will take you to the page
|

On the page you can see the number of classes that you’ve attended since joining or since the last testing.
|
|
Then in the Next Grading column
|
|
If green then you’ll have enough classes by the testing date
|
|
If amber then you may be 1-2 classes short so try and attend a few extra classes
|
If red then you will be short by too many so best to work toward the next test date
|
Second must be competent with their syllabus. This will be an in class assessment carried out by the Instructors in the weeks running up to the test date. They will only recommend a student being put forward for the testing where they can see the student is carrying out the syllabus to a good standard.

|
|
|
|
The Playwell site has a number of boots. Below is an example with the CKD logo but either this style or the dipped foam style will be permitted. These are designed to be generally worn without shoes and the fit needs to ensure that the toes are always covered. If wearing shoes then a larger size will be needed plus adjustments will generally need to be made. Please discuss this with an instructor in class if you want to do this.
