How my club started
In 1976 the Grovehill Community Centre, Hemel Hempstead was brand new. It was visited by a young man who had just moved into the area and thought it would make a good Martial Arts Dojo. As the Centre at that time had no regular venues, he managed to negotiate a pretty good deal. Which was just as well because he was skint!
The deal was, ‘no students - no rent!’ Luckily some rent became due as a trickle of students began to attend the classes. As the years rolled on the club became stronger and steadier although the summers produced a few lean times.
I was that young man, 24 years old and wondering what he’d do if some big fella turned up who decided this Go Ju karate
wasn’t up to much. As it turned out he did get a few big fella’s who thought they’d try their hand - they turned into Toms regular students. In those days it was 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squat thrusts, sparring and lots of shouting. If they were real lucky we would do some Martial Arts. Today new students see if they can manage 10’s of each and work up slowly and carefully to their personal maximum depending on age, etc. We are also delighted by interest shown by females and several have taken their Black Belt.
Now almost 40 years later, Tom is a Seventh Dan in his own Martial Art style and is graded to a high level in two other systems. He is busy trying to make his body keep up with his mind and spirit, he still thinks he is 24 but at 60 years old, his body won’t believe it. Nevertheless, he is
