Family friendly, Wado Ryu style karate club based in Loughton.
A full house for the 26min HIIT session tonight. W A full house for the 26min HIIT session tonight. We're back at Loughton Club, usual times next week.
Three teenage boys from a local school were on the Three teenage boys from a local school were on their way home last weekend when they were attacked by a group of four boys/men wearing balaclavas. This took place near Grange Farm, Chigwell and two of the boys were walking whilst the third was riding a bike. They tried to flee as soon as they realised what was about to happen but the cyclist was caught, taken down and beaten by the four attackers. The two boys running away turned back to help their battered friend. One of the boys is a brown belt at our club and the other boy is a black belt in kick boxing at the Masters Academy of Martial Arts. The four attackers were promptly given a taste of their own medicine and fled battered and bloodied. Luckily the cyclist wasn't too badly hurt. Both of these fighters have trained in their art for a large chunk of their young lives and all that training paid off when they were able to save their friend and make a stand against these feral youths. This is why I love my job.
