For the first time we saw Gradings for our colour-belts and senior grades all on one day and it certainly did not disappoint.
Everyone in every class has been working so hard for the last few weeks and it really did show in the level and attitude on the day.
In the morning we saw our hugely excited Mighty Matts show some incredible concentration and energetic drills, much to the delight of Mr Harris our Grading examiner. This was followed by our Juniors and Adults who worked extremely hard – showing the results of some really dedicated training.
After a short break it was the turn of our Panel Grading students (Red-Stripe & above) and it was certainly an impressive performance by everyone. This Panel Grading in particular was one of the toughest challenges our students have faced and we had plenty of sweat and tears, pushing the boundaries of even our most seasoned students.
Each and every candidate gave 100% throughout and it was an absolute pleasure to see everyone achieve what they have.
From our senior students I am delighted to announce the successful promotion to:
