Big congratulations to Dill Young, who was awarded his 6th Dan following a gruelling day of being assessed teaching, displaying his knowledge of the principles underlining martial arts, followed by a demonstration of kata.
Well done Dill, extremely well deserved!
Also congratulations to all those who passed their gradings on the Sat afternoon:
Stuart Gotsall 2nd Kyu
Ellie: Junior Instructor’s diploma
Karl De-Loyde Shodan (1st Dan)
Suzanna Gent Nidan (2nd Dan)
It was a great weekend, with lots of people training hard. Special thanks to those who travelled a good way to be with us.
Next residential weekend is 14th-15th September at Pontesbury. Email sensei Derek Ridgway for information.
