If you or your child wants to train but not compete....
.....that is absolutely fine!
We don't push anyone in our club to do something that they don't want to do.
Around the period that a competition is approaching, each student (who we think is eligible) will be asked whether they would like to compete. The choice is entirely theirs.
We have a number of current and past students who have chosen not to compete, and would rather simply work their way through the grades and perfect their training.
