Reading Sparring – 12th January 2025

2025-01-25T18:28:16+00:00January 12th, 2025|Reading|

Reading played host to our latest Sparring morning.  Students from far and wide gathered in reading to spar against one another.  These sessions are always helpful. There’s only so much time during a lesson to learn a new technique and often the best way to practise it is to incorporate it into sparring.

Our Oxford students met up again today for their regular weekend sparring.
