We would like to take a moment to congratulate Brett Thompson and the rest of the Hull Shukokai Karate Club on winning some medals. Brett has had to endure regular teasing for the fact that he chooses to dress up in white pyjamas as a hobby.

We are a competitive lot here at Mobius and we love a bit of healthy competition. While we still find the idea of a martial art which only works if you have your shoes and socks off a bit silly, a Gold medal is a gold medal.

Now for the serious bit:

Hull Shukokai Karate Club competed in the Wharfedale Karate Championships this weekend (Sunday 9^th July) bringing home a number a medals.
