Well done to everyone who challenged themselves today at our winter grading day! Around 50 members took to the dojo floor and performed to their best in front of a panel of black belt teachers, headed by our Chief Instructor, Chris Denwood. We are very pleased to congratulate the following list of members, who all successfully earned their next rank. Omedetougozaimasu! To those who were unsuccessful - we understand that it may be disappointing, but please try to use this outcome as a positive learning opportunity and as motivation to improve in preparation to resit your grading in March. We always acknowledge and respect your efforts, so remember that it matters not how slow you go, so long as you do not stop climbing toward your goals. Every step matters! Best wishes and see you all back in the dojo again soon :-)

It is my honour to announce the results of yesterday's black belt examination...
Huge congratulations to dojo members Millie, Euan, Alison, Warren, Stuart, Simon and Shaun on earning Shodan! Each candidate wrote and submitted an essay on a chosen subject relating to karate before even being invited to challenge the grading and arrived in the morning to sit a panel interview. The physical grading itself lasted over four hours and included a plethora of fundamentals, combinations and kata, pre-arranged exercises, flow drills, combative application, self-defence, pad-work, fitness, clinch work and ground fighting, surprise stress tests, various types of sparring, board breaking and more. They finished by being asked to push their exhausted body and mind a little more, to present their views on what attributes are important for black belt and to consider whether they themselves met them. Each candidate pushed themselves extremely hard, maintained a strong mind throughout and adapted well to whatever was thrown at them. Most of these individuals have been training at our dojo for the best part of a decade, they have remained steadfast throughout and witnessed so many equally capable members beside them join and give up during the process. As chief instructor, I couldn’t be happier. It is an honour to be associated with these individuals. To be given the opportunity to share my karate with them. To have them place their trust in me to guide them. To watch them grow over many years into the fine martial artists they’ve become. You have all earned my deepest respect and it is a real privilege to be your teacher. Big thanks go to fellow panel members Kelvin, Tom, John and Terry Sensei on taking the day out to support this event and to offer their valuable counsel. See you all in the dojo soon to continue with your karate journey! Chris 🥋 👊 🙏 🙇♂️
As is our tradition, yesterday evening we celebrated World Karate Day 2022 with a 100-Kata Challenge, plus an optional 100-Burpees for those with some extra energy!
We had two groups running. Group One performed 100 repetitions of our most important kata, Naihanchi. Group Two consisted of advanced members and those currently preparing for their black belt grading in a couple of weeks. This group performed multiple repetitions of the following 10 kata...
Tachigata / Kihongata Ichi / Kihongata Ni / Naihanchi Shodan / Pinan Shodan / Pinan Nidan / Pinan Sandan / Pinan Yondan / Pinan Godan / Passai Sho.
Both groups ran up to 90 repetitions and then we pulled back together as a single group for the final 10 repetitions of Naihanchi Kata.
Big thanks and congratulations to everyone involved, especially those who had travelled a long way to be with us and to the juniors who all worked exceptionally hard! Thanks also to everyone who made a donation to go towards our Community Fund, and the Market Hall in Egremont for kindly hosting us.
Until next year...Happy Karate Day!
A massive well done to the 55 candidates from today’s grading… We had members from 5 years old to 58 years old come together to test themselves in karate’s fundamental techniques, combinations, kata, pad work, self-defence and sparring. The list of rank awards has been published below. If you've been successful then congratulations on this way point along your journey, stay humble and keep pushing forward. Your new belts and certificates will be presented in class soon. If unsuccessful then we understand it’s disappointing, but please don’t be discouraged! Dust yourself off and use the panel’s feedback as fuel to improve for next time. Remember you only really ‘fail’ when you give up trying. So we urge you to keep trying and when you do earn that belt, then not only will the reward taste even sweeter, but your journey will have become even more valuable. Long story short…we are very proud of you all! Big thanks to panel members and venue staff for their time and kind support in helping to make the event run smoothly 🙏🙇♂️ Our popular Karate-Kidz Summer Course was back this year, with over 20 local children coming to learn and have fun with us! Day One covered a cool ice breaker to warm up, basic karate techniques, some Japanese words, fitness and stretching, a little education on nutrition and healthy eating, plus some ninja-style pad drills to finish off. In Day Two, we warmed up with basic karate techniques, then we got the mats out for some rolls and break falls. After lunch, we taught the children about personal safety, some awareness and anti-abduction skills. We finished off with some board breaking practice! Day Three was demo day and everyone worked extra hard to prepare to a special performance to wow parents and family members, by showcasing what they had been learning throughout the week! It was a real privilege to work with these children and we hope you enjoyed the week as much as us 😊 Big thanks to Egremont Market Hall for the venue, Sharon at Truly Scrumptious for the delicious food, Euan and Jayden for their excellent assistance and Cumbria County Council for their HAF funding in support of the event. To enquire about booking E.S.K.K Martial Arts & Fitness for taster sessions or workshops on any aspects of the services we offer to people here in West Cumbria, then please don't hesitate to Contact Us
Huge congratulations to dojo members Simon and Shaun on being promoted to Shodan-Ho and earning the right to stand alongside our other 2022 candidates to challenge their black belt later this year! Their grading was pretty intense and consisted of fundamental techniques and kata, combinations and pre-arranged drills, grappling and pad work, self-defence and sparring, plus a panel interview with Q&A. Being such a hot day made their challenge even more demanding. We are always very proud to witness our members effort, commitment and dedication pay off in their development of skill, knowledge, character, physical conditioning and mental strength. Simon and Shaun certainly gave it their all and as such, thoroughly deserve this promotion.
Congratulations from us all and keep up the great work! Last weekend seen the return of our very popular weekend training camp, after what has been a three year postponement due to COVID. 16 lucky participants came together and the wonderful 4* Crown Hotel in Wetheral for three days of intensive martial arts and fitness training, led by our founder and chief instructor, Chris Denwood. As well as the all-inclusive hotel accommodation, award winning food and full use of the leisure facilities, the group trained in numerous sessions from 6am in the morning to 7pm in the evening on topics including:
Our thanks to all participants for their hard work and enthusiasm, to the Crown Hotel for looking after us, and to instructors Jenny, Terry, David and Tom for leading their individual sessions.
It's great to have this event back in our calendar and we'll have news about our 2023 event soon! We are very proud to announce that E.S.K.K Martial Arts & Fitness have been presented with the very first UK School of Excellence Award by the British Martial Arts & Boxing Association! BMABA Press Release on Facebook > We'd like to thank our amazing instructor team for their hard work, plus our wonderful members, parents and friends for their continued enthusiasm and support in our mission - you're all awesome! We'd also like to extend our gratitude to BMABA for leading us so professionally through the auditing process of what is the martial arts industry's highest level of vetting and regulation here in the UK. The BMABA have now almost 43,000 members, so this is a wonderful achievement and not to mention, an excellent endorsement for our classes here in West Cumbria. Feel free to browse our website to find out more about joining our martial arts or fitness classes. You can also book a free taster class at any of our venues HERE! We're very proud to announce that we have presented our prestigious 2022 Student of the Year awards to David Cass (blue belt) and Abbie Long (brown stripe). This is a very important award for our organisation and something we're been running since we first opened our doors back in 2004. First, members vote via a student poll and then we short list candidates for discussion by members of our senior back belt instructor team. Winners are chosen very carefully, based on inspiring attributes shown throughout the year... "In recognition of displaying exceptional qualities in the dedicated practice of traditional karate, outstanding contributions in support of our dojo, and unwavering commitment towards ongoing personal development, standing as fine inspiration for others to follow" Both David and Abbie are fantastic role models, hard workers who consistently strive to improve their karate, whilst always being willing to help support their fellow members. They are real inspirations to others and very deserving of this special recognition. Please join us in congratulating David and Abbie on their wonderful achievement. As part of the awards presentation, Abbie's first job was to select a local charity to which we will present a donation from our Community Fund. She picked out Hospice at Home, West Cumbria.
Following our karate grading earlier today, we are very pleased to announce the following rank promotions. Requirements tested against included basic techniques and combinations, kata, practical applications, self-defence, pad-drills and sparring. Big congratulations to everyone who took part in the grading, stood up to be tested and gave their very best effort! Successful candidates will be awarded their new belt and certificate in class once we have completed all the admin. Although it may be disappointing, those who were unsuccessful today should try use this experience as inspiration to bounce back stronger and perform to a higher standard next time. Please remember also that It is our responsibility as well as yours to help you succeed, so rest assured we will try our best to support you in class over summer, in preparation for the next grading day... ...it's all part of the journey as karate-ka and if it were easy then it simply wouldn't be worth it! Big thanks to members of the grading panel for their assistance and council during the day. Your time and commitment is always much appreciated. Rank promotions are effective immediately - members who have earned Yellow or Purple Belt, please remember that you have now progressed into the next level so don't forget to book classes appropriately from tomorrow onward. Congratulations once again and keep up the great work! We're very proud to announce the following rank promotions after our grading day held yesterday in Egremont. Around 65 members took their test and performed to the best of their abilities, some of whom pushed beyond what the panel expected. This always gains our utmost respect. This marks a very postive end to yet another uncertain year - let's hope that 2022 is kind to us all and allows us to get back once again to unrestricted training. However, with every cloud there's a silver lining and we're pleased to say that our focus toward solo attributes has further increased general standards, as we had aspired to. A note to members who were unsuccesful... We understand that it's never easy to push hard, try your best and still not make the cut. However, you can respond to this in one of two ways. The first will make what happened today a negative catalyst for failure. The second will make what happened today a positive stepping stone toward your success. It's totally up to you which road you choose to take. Our advice would be to lick your wounds, listen to the panel's feedback, be honest about what you need to do to improve, get to work and prepare for a re-sit in a few months time. Rest asured, you have our full support to help you get there! We will be presenting new belts and certificates in our classes this week to the successful candidates listed below. Special recognigiton goes to Sola Takeda-Holmes and Olivia Johnston, who both earned first class passes for exceptional performance! On behalf of us all...CONGRATULATIONS and keep up the great work! Big thanks to black belt instructors John Smallman and Lewis Cullen, who asissted on the grading panel - they're time, expertise and advice was much appreciated.

We have been very proud of the way with which our members have pushed the boundaries of their training so far during the pandemic, persisted despite being under restrictions and worked hard to improve together no matter what. It is times like this that show us those who truly understand the message we strive to deliver in our classes. The message that the periods of discomfort and the barriers we face represent a huge potential for growth, should we only be strong and tenacious enough to pursue. Giving up is easy...holding steadfast despite the challenges ahead is what traditional martial arts was born from. We can make the choice to only associate negativity to the recent COVID restrictions, or we can continue riding the waves of uncertainty and strive to find a positive way forward. That's what we've tried to do here at E.S.K.K Martial Arts & Fitness, to lead by example, and it's amazing to see so many of our members joining us with unwavering strength and resilience. Indeed, it is through our incredible members that we are where we are now. Congratulations to everyone for what were some excellent performances. We always aspire for high standards so that members can be assured that the ranks they earn with us are very well deserved. This is even more apparent here, as the members listed below have not only met those standards, but have also achieved under additional challenges that the current pandemic has forced upon us. Please wear these new ranks with pride! Chris & Jenny x Promotion to Provisional 9th Kyu - Red Stripe:

Apologies that we were unable to take pictures of the whole event, but here are a few from the day, plus a little kata montage we managed to film... Huge congratulations to our members who were presented with one of our 2021 member awards last weekend! In addition, we also crowned our 2021 Students of the Year - Simon Marley and Shaun Taylor (pictured above) - more information on their achievement HERE >> Ten of our members also received special recognition certificates for their sterling efforts and showing exceptional qualities throughout the year. These were:
Especially given the challenges we've al faced this year wrt coronavirus, I'm sure you will join us in congratulating the above members for what are truly well deserved awards 🙏🙇♂️
There's only two more weeks to wait until we are able to resume our face2face karate classes for children and teenagers up to 17 years old 👍
Unfortunately, adults will have to wait until 17th May before they can return, but please don't worry - we have you covered 👌 For the five weeks between 12th April until 16th May, we will be releasing a hybrid class timetable. Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays will be online, with Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays being face2face at Egremont, Workington and Whitehaven respectfully. We will have a virtual karate class every week that everyone can join regardless of grade and we will also hold a special weekly class dedicated solely to adults (again, all ranks). In the adult classes we will focus on more 'mature' content, important principles and short lecture segments, with a view to using those five weeks to enhance your understanding of the history, theory and application of Okinawan Karate. All our face-to-face classes will initially be based on our social distanced model with curriculum adaptations to suit. Then all being well, we may be able to move towards a controlled contact/partner training environment in time for the summer. All exciting times and a long time coming, so fingers crossed this will be the start of some form of normality returning for us. We'll be in touch with all our members next week to share our new hybrid class schedule and procedures in preparation for Monday 12th April. But if you have any questions in the meantime, then please don't hesitate to drop us a line. How do I prepare for face2face classes? Easy - spend the next two weeks participating in as many virtual classes as possible! Get stuck into the fitness class as well as the karate classes and this combination will get your body, mind and spirit ready to go! 🥋💪 As always, thanks so much for your amazing support - we simply couldn't have survived this long without your continued kindness, enthusiasm and encouragement. We will never forget those members who have stood firm beside us during what has been for us all, an incredibly challenging period... #eskk-family #kicking-corona-together Best wishes, Chris & Jenny x Following the recent government announcement, it looks like we have a prospective road map out of lockdown and towards meeting again face2face. This is obviously great news, but we want to make certain the details before sharing any plans with you for the coming weeks and months ahead.
Our national governing body (BMABA) along with NEST Management, are working hard to interpret the latest guidance so that we can fully understand what it means for our martial arts and fitness training. Rest assured, we will continue to keep the safety of our members and their best interests number one priority during this next transitionary period, be sure to follow all recommended guidelines and share with you regular updates as things progress. Once again, our sincere thanks to all our members for their incredible support during this time and we're looking forward to the day (hopefully soon) where we can once again practice what we love together in an unrestricted face2face environment. What a milestone that will be to celebrate! In the meantime, we encourage our current members and any new beginners looking to take up our martial arts or fitness classes (we've enrolled a number of the past few months) to take advantage of our comprehensive virtual training platform 👍 Lockdown hasn't stopped us from delivering world-class martial arts and fitness training to families here in West Cumbria! 🥋💪
Fancy trying out something new from your own home, then why not join us virtually? This is a great time to start 👌 We have classes almost every day of the week including karate for all ages, bodyweight fitness, Pilates and kettlebells! We also have literally hundreds of hours of past lesson content to catch up on, learn at your own pace, plus a supportive community of awesome instructors and members to help guide you along the way! Furthermore...if you join us during this lockdown, then we'll upgrade you to 2-months of UNLIMITED training when we return to face2face classes 👍 Despite the restrictions and challenges that have tested us this year, we were determined to hold a winter karate grading for all of our members who have been working so hard, both virtually and face2face in our COVID controlled classes. Over 50 members took on the challenge and presented their competence against our specially adapted COVID Curriculum, which as usual for us, is no less demanding than our standard grading requirements...and in certain aspects even more so! The challenge included fundamental karate techniques, footwork and combinations, kata, solo pad drills and simulated sparring, knowledge, written essays and even technical video submissions. It was a proud moment to see this all coming together in what were some excellent displays of skill, determination and tenacity. Members of the grading panel (big thanks for their assistance) were delighted with the standards, which proved that with enough passion and enthusiasm, even a global pandemic cannot stop those who look for ways to embrace the opportunity to learn, develop and grow. What a fantastic end to the year and a great platform for us to rise even further from into 2021! Please see grading results below - extra congratulations to Michael Branney, Jessica Wright and Shaun Taylor for attaining fist-class passes for what were exceptional standards. #kicking-corona-together Jenny I would like to wish all our members, instructors, parents, and supporters a very Merry Christmas from our family to yours and we look forward to seeing everyone again in January! So from today, the U.K. is back on national lockdown after coronavirus rates have increased past the point where action is once again necessary.
This is unfortunate for everyone and although not ideal, we at E.S.K.K Martial Arts and Fitness will strive to maintain positivity for all our members. From Monday, we will transition once again to our virtual training framework, which will offer three karate classes plus three fitness classes per week. All our members and others within their household (parents, brothers, sisters, wives and husbands etc.) are very welcome to join in. Given that everyone has worked so hard over the past couple of months, our plan is still to hold our grading in December, whether that be face2face (hopefully) or online. So, although he country may be on lockdown, our training is certainly NOT! We will continue to offer inspiring classes, support all our members and hope that they will be encouraged to make the best use of this time to get involved, practice and improve to help make sure that we end this very unique year on a high. Best wishes, Chris & Jenny x We are very pleased to announce that we have now opened up a traditional Okinawan karate club in Cockermouth at The Kirkgate Arts Centre!
Classes run every Wednesday evening from 5:30pm in accordance with our strict COVID-Control procedures to help ensure a safe and productive environment. Every student has their own 2x2 metre training space and does not come into contact with anyone else during the lesson. As with all our locations, we've adapted our training methods to accommodate this particular way of operating to ensure that essential skills can still be taught within a inspiring and supportive environment. So if you or your child is interested in starting their karate journey wit us at E.S.K.K Cockermouth, then please feel free to get in touch! We wanted to update everyone following the COVID-19 Government Announcement on Wednesday introducing a new “Rule of 6” to be implemented as of Monday 14th September... Please rest assured that this guidance does not affect our School in any way. As a COVID-19 secure establishment following strict guidance and protocols, we will not be required to restrict training groups to 6, but rather continue with the strict social distancing rules and COVID controls we currently apply. To support this, please see below official guidance offered by Sport England which states: “The Government has confirmed that organised sports and activities that have been through return to play protocols can continue” We will continue to monitor Government guidance as and when it is released in an effort to make sure our School is 100% compliant meaning that both our students and staff are kept as safe as possible.
We look forward to seeing you in class! Chris & Jenny x After 20-weeks of virtual training, we are now pleased to make a return to face-to-face classes under COVID control measures. We held our first sessions over the past week and they all ran very smoothly.
We now make a transition into our Hybrid Training Platform, combining controlled face-to-face sessions at Egremont (Sundays) and Workington (Thursdays) with a number of virtual sessions throughout the week. Our aim, as always, is to provide first-class quality and value for all our members. If all goes well over the next few weeks then we will look to gradually increase the number of our face-to-face classes at other venues. We will still however operate a virtual class schedule to support our members fully. So here's to the next phase of our 'return to normality' and rest assured, we will continue to make sure that everyone's safety is paramount. Due to the Coronavirus restrictions, we decided to hold a live online grading for a dozen members, who have all been working exceptionally hard over the past three months since lock down began. In addition to their technical standards being assessed, they were also required to complete a knowledge questionnaire, submit daily records and diary entries of their activities etc at home, plus their regular virtual class attendance and interaction in our member's group challenges were also monitored and taken into consideration. All of this together made this grading challenge one of the most comprehensive we've ever held! These new rank awards signify a time in history where these individuals stood up to be counted, worked consistently hard, broke through barriers, took on challenges head on and were part of the minority who simply refused to let this virus halt their progress! So please join us in congratulating the following members, who have demonstrated the true spirit of karate, making us very proud and earning our deepest respect... If you're new to martial arts and fitness and would like some more information on how to join our dedicated virtual training programme, please hit the button below...
Despite the recent COVID-19 Lockdown, it is very important to us here at E.S.K.K Martial Arts & Fitness to maintain normality as much as possible for our members. This was very true for our prestigious Student of the Year Awards, which have ran annually in our association since our classes first began back in 2004.
As such, we are very proud to announce our 2020 Student of the Year Award winners, Paul Stewart (4th Kyu) and Natasha McDonald (3rd Kyu). Both of these awards are very well deserved - Paul and Natasha have shown some exceptional qualities, not only over the past 12-months, but for a number of years before too. They are fine ambassadors for our group and inspiring characters for so many of our members. Big congratulations on behalf of everyone here at E.S.K.K Martial Arts & Fitness! It's a shame that we couldn't celebrate these awards face-to-face due to the current situation, but rest assured, we will certainly be planning a big party once it's deemed safe enough to do so! However, we did have a formal presentation on Zoom and Facebook Live where many of our members joined in and had the opportunity to congratulate Paul and Natasha. We may be have been a little late with these awards, but we weren't going to let some virus stop us from acknowledging those members who have stood out this year by displaying amazing qualities in class! Our 2020 Member Awards were presented yesterday evening using a dual stream via both Zoom and Facebook Live, reaching upwards of 150 members in total. Using the dual stream allowed us to see reactions, join in rounds of applause and bring our community more closely together for such an important occasion. It's a shame that we couldn't present these awards in person, but rest assured, we will be sure to celebrate once this current situation is all over in true E.S.K.K style! As always, these were very difficult decisions to make as we have so many amazing members, but I guess that makes these awards even more special. So please join us in congratulating the members listed below for their hard work and dedication over the past 12-months! Chris & Jenny x Exemplary Attendance Awards
