Rebranding is a very "business" thing but we've refreshed our club logo or brand. We've produced a clean logo that is neatly transferable to an embroidered badge. Examples of the logo and what it would look like as a badge. More in comments.

Karate clubs contain a syllabus against which the progress of a student is tested. Most syllabi are relatively unchanged from the mid 1920s.

A curriculum focused on embodied knowledge and tacit learning are crucial for skill development and participation in the pragmatic physical world.

We had a progression test or skill test or grading examination earlier this week. June (2nd Kyu brown) and Christoph (4th Kyu purple) progressed to learning their next group of skills. Well done. Pictured one of our instructors with Christoph.

Positive energy for all those struggling with Blue Monday and other angst today. Remote beach near Arisaig, Scotland. The sound of the gentle waves reverberated around the low cliffs and gentle grass green slope that led to the beach. A low mound indicates a possible viking burial, perhaps, maybe.

The Imperial Rescript on Education, issued in 1890, was recited at school ceremonies, and was the pillar of militaristic education, instilling the imperial absolutist system in the people both spiritually and morally.
