We are so proud to share this on World Autism Awareness Day.
Tyler has trained with us for several years and is a credit to the club. It's been a delight to watch his confidence grow - who would have thought when he started that he'd now be happily running warmups and stretching!

Having autism, Tyler struggled with loud noises and crowds until the staff at St Jamesโ Park began taking him from the sensory room to the stands.
We received Tylerโs heartwarming letter and put on a little surprise of our ownโฆ ๐ฅฐ
Well done to those who made our mini seminar on Wednesday to support Ryan becoming a black belt. We also found out students of the year and results from the colour belt grading. Well done if you passed, if unsuccessful, take on board advice given and push harder next time
