Dan Grading Success

We held a Dan grading today, where 4 of our Zoku higher grades were attempting their next grades.

The grading was a relatively short exam this time, lasting only 4 hours 15 minutes. These students have been preparing for many months and even years completing portfolios, Japanese tests, Anatomy tests, stamina tests and freestyle fighting tasks...to name just a few, all before the grading day.

There had been a lot of nerves, some tears and even some second thoughts.

However, the day came and all 4 did amazingly and pushed themselves through it, both mentally and physically.

Well done to Caitlin and Nicki who passed their intermediate black belts and also a huge congratulations to Isaac and Enfys for passing their black belts.
