Master Johnson's Family Karate
CATH DELANEY
Instructor: Pateley Bridge

We started doing Johnson's Tang Soo Do 3 years ago. My daughter, then aged 10, had asked and asked about doing karate, I thought 'why not?' My son was keen to try karate too, so it was going be a family thing! My daughter took to it well; she showed her commitment right from the start, keen to get to sessions, hurrying her brother along so we'd not be late! And my son, well, he's gone from strength to strength, a real natural. Things I have to work at to achieve, he can do in the blink of an eye! We're all fitter and healthier now. I've learnt a lot about myself and what I am capable of. Despite the age gap, we all achieved our 1st Dan in June 2005. It has been hard work, certainly for me, the sense of achievement is incredible, and it has been a lot of fun getting to this stage. We are all now looking forward to achieving 2nd Dan. The main thing I like about Johnson's Karate is that it includes everyone, no matter what your age and ability, the whole family can train together. There's a Dan Grade in everyone if they want it and put the effort in. Work hard, train hard, don't give up, and you will achieve it, I did.

Here are the first Yellow belts for Pateley Bridge's Club. They travelled to Harrogate to join in with the Sunday evening training session and took their first grading.

Pateley Bridge has 5 new yellow belts. 3 are pictured here. Well done to them on their achievement. Keep up the hard work.
