Newcastle KDS - National All Grades Course 9th -11th June 2017


Following the success of last year’s course, Newcastle KDS warmly invites you all up North to attend the first national KDS course since Spring School. The course is open to all grades and will be taken by the 4th Dan group and overseen by Marie Kellett  5th Dan.

We are hosting the course in the city centre,  in a state of the art venue within the University of Northumbria and we’re planning a couple of cracking socials so it’s promising to be an excellent weekend! At least as good as last years and the perfect chance to experience some Geordie hospitality.

Just like last year, we’d especially like to encourage our student members to make the journey. It’s a great opportunity to combine some really hard training with some end of exam celebrations!  A fantastic start to the summer!

As if all of that wasn’t enough, we are honoured to have our Principal and Chief Instructor Mitsusuke Harada Sensei MBE as our special guest over the weekend.

Also, bear in mind…this is your last chance to attend an all grades UK course before Summer School 2017.
