Training during Diamond Jubilee 2012

Diamond Jubilee Party IdeasDue to the Golden Jubilee celebrations around the country our training will be as follows:

  • Sunday 3 June: training as normal at Kelsey Kerridge
  • Monday 4 June: The Manor Community College is closed on bank holidays therefore the sparring session will be organised at the Histon Road Recreation Ground (accessible from Histon Road or Richmond Road) between 5 and 7.  This will happen just if there is good weather: e.g. no rain during or before the session.
  • Tues 5 June: Kelsey Kerridge is closed therefore the training session will be organised at the Histon Road Recreation Ground (accessible from Histon Road or Richmond Road) between 5 and 7.  This will happen just if there is good weather: e.g. no rain during or before the session.

Please keep an eye on this website for last minute updates.

 

Happy Jubilee to everyone!

Join the CARISMA Annual BBQ 2012

To celebrate the social as well as martial aspects of our club we are going to have the annual BBQ on 16 June 2012.  Please contact us to book your place before Tuesday 12 June.

Every year CARISMA is celebrating its anniversary (13th this year) with a BBQ extended to all members (and family/partners) and we hope many people will be able to make it.

As usual we ask a small contribution of £10 (£5 for people that just drink soft drinks) to all members to cover for their food and drinks that will all be provided. The club matches all monies collected so effectively all guests get a treat of food and drinks worth twice the money they pay. Partners and Family members are welcome and will be asked to pay an extra £5 to the standard contribution (e.g. £10 for people that just consume soft drinks and £15 for the others). As usual we consider members those who are currently training and paying monthly fees to the club. People that no longer train with the club is welcome but will be charged the partner/family fees.

All bookings must be done in advance and paid for; payments are non refundable. Please RSVP a.s.a.p.!

There is also a Facebook event to help with RSVP and giving us an idea of people coming along.

Beginners Course May 2012

The next CARISMA beginners course, will start on Tuesday 22 May 2012 to run for 4 consecutive Tuesday and Thursday classes (e.g. 22, 24, 29, 31). We recently enjoyed several busy beginners’ courses (see picture) and we often have Tues and Thurs classes (our busiest ones) with classes of 30 or more individuals.

So if you would like to join (or you know somebody who would like to) please do it on the 22 May.

Please notice: you must join the beginners’ course just if you are a total beginnner. Any previous experience in striking martial arts (kickboxing, muai thai, karate, tae kwon do, kung fu, etc…) is appreciated and will allow you to join without without going through the beginners’ course. Please get in touch with us if in doubt.

If you’d like to check our prices please look at this page.

There is no need for booking for beginners: please just turn up at 6pm at Kelsey Kerridge.
