Success at South Panel Grading

Posted on: March 2nd, 2013 by David Finch

Saturday, 2nd March 2013 – South Panel Grading

Congratulations to the team of students who headed to Swindon for the first Panel Grading of 2013.  It was certainly a challenging test but after working so hard for the last few weeks I am pleased to announce that everyone from MF Kent passed with flying colours.

It was a pleasure to watch them all achieve their well deserved new belts:

Alfie Salih – Red Belt

Adam Amine-Piekos – Red Belt

Gemma Gibson – Deputy Black Belt

Sardeep Gill – Deputy Black Belt

Celine Owen – Deputy Black Belt

Bryn Homewood – 1st Degree Black Belt

 

Well done!

On Saturday, 25th January MF Kent and some of the Team gave a fantastic demo class in front of hundreds of shoppers in Whitefriars Shopping Centre, Canterbury.

The event was organised by the NHS Change 4 Life department and Kent County Council to help promote the benefits of exercise and to raise awareness about healthy eating.

Thank you so much to all the students who came out to show their amazing ability and attitude.  Everyone was so impressed and I am very proud of you all.  There is a group photo with the Juniors in the photos section of the website.  I would also like to thank the following students and team members for giving up their time to attend:
