Monday’s and Wednesday’s class cancelled due to snow and…

Due to the inclement weather and further forcasats of snowfal. This is combined with a few people already indicating difficulty in getting there tonight due to icy roads

We have decided to delay reopening after Christmas and the club will remain closed for classes today at Weoley Castle and Wednesday at Stechford. We will review the situation on Wednesday to determine if we need to make any changes for Thursday at Weoley Castle and Friday at Stechford and will inform you if that is the case.

We have taken this decision with the safety of both our students and instructors in mind whilst getting to and returning from the dojo

Take care and we hope to be able to return to training later this week.

Apology for lack of recent updates

You may have noticed that the web site (and Facebook page) haven’t been updated for an extended period. My apologies for this but this was due to some initial computer upgrades on my primary machine that then escalated into major electrical work on ny home combined of course with the usual peaks at work for the last quarter and of course seasonal illness.

The computer is now up and running again and the electrics sorted so hopefully more regular updates will resume.

My apologies to those who have been checking for updates in the meantime.

Kenshin dojo closed on Wednesday 14th May!

To all students who train at the Kenshin dojo! Due to circumstances beyond our control with repairs taking place in Stechford Leisure Centres sports hall I’m afraid that we have had to cancel the class this. Wednesday (14/5). Friday’s class will take place as normal. We have been informed the central heating repairs should be complete for next week so we currently expect all sessions to be back to normal then.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and again to the students and instructors who turned up last week to discover the hall was unavailable. If we receive any further updates from the leisure centre we will of course keep you informed.

Thanks,

Richard

Happy New Year 2025!

Happy New Year. Best Wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025 from all of the BWCSK team.

Training resumes the week starting Monday 6th January 2025. Unfortunately due to the inclement weather and instructor availability due to unforeseen illness amongst the available instructors not still on their Christmas break we have had to cancel Monday’s classes but hope to return to the normal schedule from Wednesday. Please check our Facebook page or members group if an existing student for further updates. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes but alas like many people this Christmas a number of us were struck down by the current flu going around which in combination with the current weather warnings in place made cancelling the class the best and safest option for students and the remaining instructors alike.
