Grading Success at Whitchurch on 21 July.

02 August 2008

 

Eight Club Members attended the Grading at St Bernadette's School, Whitchurch on Saturday 21 April. Two novices, Kody and Jack, took their first grading, and got their Orange Belts. Five Orange Belts, Tony, Emily, Charlie, Georgia and Cain, took their second grading, and all got their Red Belts. David Aldridge, got his Brown & Double White Belt.

The grading started at 1pm with a two hour training session. There were around 50 present, and the first half of the training was led by two senior Instructors, before Sensei Bob Poynton took over for the final half.

Around 30 took their gradings, and as usual, the Grading Examiner, Sensei Bob Poynton, 7th Dan, was very meticulous in checking and correcting students errors.

The grading finished at around 6pm Congratulations to all who passed, and thanks to the organisers for an excellent training and grading day.
