We are used to seeing our students focused, disciplined, and working hard on the mats at the Brenda Blakemore Community Centre. But this past weekend, the Rainham Tang Sou Dao team swapped their martial arts uniforms for comfy clothes and their “combat shouts” for cheering!
He’s Behind You! Instructor Ms. Kelly Wise took a group of students and parents over to the Thameside Theatre in Grays for a well-earned festive treat to see this year’s pantomime, Peter Pan.
It was a fantastic opportunity for the group to bond outside of the training hall. Martial arts is about individual progression, but under Kelly’s guidance, it is also about community. Seeing the students laughing together (and booing Captain Hook at the top of their lungs) was a great reminder of the strong friendships that have formed within the club.
A Flying Success The show was absolutely brilliant and packed with jokes, songs, and plenty of “Oh no it isn’t!” moments. It was great to see everyone relaxing and enjoying the Christmas spirit before getting straight back to training as usual this week.
Events like this are a huge part of what makes Rainham Tang Sou Dao special. We train hard, but we are also a family that supports each other and has fun together.
Merry Christmas from the Team We want to say a huge thank you to Ms. Wise for organising the tickets and to the staff at Thameside Theatre for a magical afternoon.
Join the Fun in the New Year If you are looking for a club that offers serious training with a friendly, social atmosphere, come and try Tang Sou Dao. We welcome all ages and abilities.
