This was specifically designed as a lower grade grading with 6 hopefuls. Everyone proved to be of the standard required and there was a 100% pass rate.
The highlight of the grading was Marc Lee-Smith who was originally going for his red belt. Halfway through the grading it became apparent that his skill and knowledge were higher than that of a red belt so he was allowed to take part in the yellow belt grading as well. He did so well that he was duly double graded and awarded his yellow belt.
Well done to all the gradees!
