Congratulations to all the juniors who graded on Friday - all the senseis including Sensei Tony (5th Dan) were very impressed by the standard shown.
The highlight had to be Tom taking his Kodoma Black belt. He started with an excellent defence against multiple attackers and then showed a wide range of throws and techniques taken from all the previous belts and finished up with two very strong and controlled katas. He obtained 95% which meant that he has now scored over 90% in every belt taken - a club record.
Thanks also go to student-of-the-year Sophie for taking the warm-up at the start - nice job.
We will grade the seniors near the end of July and also some of the Juniors who were not quite ready to grade this time.
