Hello everyone! I’m Mat and am very excited to be running for president of the UCL Karate Club. I have trained Shotokan Karate for over 5 years and believe this position is a great addition to my martial art journey (and yours ?).
As current welfare officer, I have observed issues within the society that I will address as president.The Karate Club has not reached its full potential with regards to activities and growth.
Initial improvements include more involvement in UCL sports events and taking full advantage of welcome weeks and taster sessions to expose the Karate Club. Karate is very important to me mentally and physically and I aspire to spread this mentality, especially given it has helped me cope with my heavy workload and stress.
Further topics I will address include the incorporation of more Karate-related events for society members to attend. Training is essential,but so is the history of Karate,our Dojo and Karate etiquette amongst other less addressed topics.More regular socials outside training are also necessary to grow closer as a Dojo.
Although I am thrilled to be running for president, I cannot ignore my experience as welfare officer and will continue to focus on increasing the confidence of trainees in order for all members to perform at their best capabilities.
As president, I will push our society to its full potential. I am looking forward to sharing my dedication to Karate and encourage you to love this martial art as much as I do!
