The New Dojo

Work began back in October 2009. All internal walls, offices, toilet blocks and cupboards were torn down and removed. Ceilings were brought down, wiring and all plumbing stripped out.

It is now one large open-plan area, perfect for the eventual training hall. However, reconstruction of certain walls, blocking up of previous doorways and a new entrance from Unit 2 are underway and likely to take some time.

The new ceiling is an enormous task, as it needs to be raised to our required 10ft height and is a considerable length. New wiring to accommodate the bespoke lighting arrangement and a ton of Rockwool Insulation should cost "an arm and a leg".

The Dojo where we currently train will become the Reception & Lounge Area and the Cafe/Bar will be where reception is now.

To celebrate the eventual opening, we will be hosting a competition against our friends at the Welsh Bushi-Kai, followed by a party and Disco/Karaoke. This will give the opportunity for everyone to see the new arrangement. A number of previous WKK/Jishin Students and Groups of friends will also be invited to visit and take part in the celebrations.

When it is eventually finished, all future WKK Courses will be held there.
