REAL SSK Celebrates turning One!

One Year of REALSSK and a Huge Thank You

As of May 2026, REALSSK is officially one year old, and we want to extend a BIG THANK YOU to all our members and supporters. None of this would have been possible without your commitment, energy, and belief in what we’re building together.

Let’s take a moment to look back at what we’ve achieved so far.

National Black Belt Grading

Our first! Four successful candidates, seventeen assessors, four bricks smashed, more tiles and boards than we can count, ten rounds of intense sparring, and a packed audience cheering throughout.

Four Regional Gradings

Over twenty students across the country sat and passed their examinations, with candidates ranging from age seven to fifty‑seven.

Three New Classes Launched

A Kids‑Only Class on Mondays, a Traditional Class on Saturdays, and a monthly Senior Revision Class.

Executive Committee Publications

We released the full operating model, including Dan Grade progression, the complete grading syllabus from Beginner to Senior Master, and the marking and assessment framework.

Additional Highlights

Our website went live, the online shop opened, we will be holding our Second National Grading in August and hosting Picnic in the Park for members.

June will see the launch of our new Instagram Page, and we begin preparing for our return to competitions.

That’s all for this edition. If you’re not a member you really should be!
