Lindsay Visits the Big Apple

Our very own Lindsay Young, who is originally from Canada and trains with us at the Chikara Dojo of Kyokushin Karate in Spennymoor, visited America recently as part of her work commitments. When she was there she had the opportunity to train at the American Kyokushin Headquarters in New York.

“To have the chance to train at our American HQ as a black belt was amazing and is something I will never forget. It was great that I was able to set aside some time to take advantage of this unique opportunity and to meet some wonderful people who share my passion for Kyokushin Karate.” said Lindsay.

“This was a fantastic opportunity for Lindsay. Being able to train at any of our international Dojos is something very special indeed. The instruction our students receive in our Spennymoor club enables them to attend any of our venues worldwide, with utmost confidence. Visits by our students to other clubs in other countries helps build our international relationships”. commented Chief Instructor, Adam Walker.

Team Chikara are preparing for the Spanish Open Tournament which is to be held in March. As a Community Amateur Sports Club they would welcome any donations that will help towards events such as this.
