2010  Award Winners

Karate-Ka of the Year 2010    "Kurtis Conroy & Harry Warner"     

This is an award that is awarded to the best student of the year by sensei.

"Kurtis and Harry" have always been a pair in most of the black belts thoughts. They are both always training,
always train hard and both are always so well mannered in the dojo. 
They both passed recently to 1st kyu at the recent Brown & Black belt gradings in Brackley and are both already 
working hard towards their goal of achieving BLACK BELT

This is why i have awarded the CESKA Karate-ka award of 2010 to both Kurtis and Harry. They are ideal role models
for all the younger members of CESKA

 Keep up the hard training boys.

Sensei.
