KARATE:

YOUNGSTERS from the Glodwick Estate Shukokai Karate club, which meets at the Kadijah Education and Youth Centre, Waterloo Street, successfully completed their first gradings under the watchful eye of coaches Charlie Mitchell (pictured back left) and Ben Walster (right) along with 6th Dan chief instructor Keith Cockburn (front).

The last of those is well known for his work with Shaw Karate Club and is a recent graduate of two weeks’ Shukokai training in America.
