Sensei Alun Jones - RIP

The BKK is sad to hear that Sensei Alun Jones passed away on 31st August 2016 following a lengthy illness. Sensei Alun was chief instructor of Abercynon School of Kyokushin Karate and Nelson Karate Club in the 1970s before opening Cynon Valley School of Karate in the early 1980s.

He was a passionate karateka and exceptional technician. Those who had the honour of training under him will remember him for his attention to detail , dedication and strive for excellence, qualities which were then reflected in his students.

Despite leaving the BKK in the early 1990s, he is still remembered and respected as a fine karateka and exceptional instructor

An informative Black Belt course held with Shihan Liam

,

The 3rd of July saw black belts from across the BKK visit Kokoro Dojo to attend a Black Belt course with Shihan Liam Keaveney.

Some participants used the course as a pre-cursor to the National Grading to be held at this year's British Summer Camp.  Areas covered on the course included finer points of kihon and kata, and focus on bunkai.

Many thanks to those that attended.  Good luck to those looking to take their gradings later this year.
