Press Release #03 - 1 December 2004

Innovations for the new year

As of next year the club will extend its training facilities for the classes of Tuesday and Thursday. The Function Room, next door to the already hired Practice Hall will be hired between 7 and 8PM in order to allow simultaneous training of two separate groups of people managed by two separate instructors. The splitting line between the groups will be decided from time by the people in charge of the class, in order to facilitate preparation of various events, together with the usual training classes at different levels of difficulty. The decision to increase the training space will allow training comfortably a larger number of people, given the great number beginners and new comers that so far the club could not accept because of lack of room.

CARISMA is a very successful martial arts club. Its success is given by the right combination of technical excellence and hard work together with a friendly and social environment that is very difficult to balance: numbers speak for themselves, indicating the club success. Since the beginning the club has been targeting just very keen people, building from scratch a membership between 60 and 70 in any given time. The club, now running in its sixth year, has now 7 people qualified between instructors and assistants, an increasing number of higher ranks up to Dan level and some very encouraging results during the last few years of sport competitions. CARISMA's goal for the years to come will be to consolidate its position even further, allowing even better expression of all martial aspects for all members.
