This grading was carried over two sessions. In the first session, the lower grades were graded and in the second session it was the higher grades' turn. Almost everyone passed and performances of note were as follows:

Tayyab Akram – although only having trained with us for a short time, Tayyab has proved that he has what it takes to get a first class red belt!

Phil English – Phil did so well in his red belt grading that he had to do it all over again straight afterwards to double grade and go straight in at yellow.

Hayley Blagg – This was a good day for Hayley whose karate has really come on in recent months. Not only did she get promoted to brown belt but she blasted into the grade with a unaminous1st class pass!

Well done Tayyab, Phil and Hayley and well done to all the successful gradees.
