| Some Happy Faces After Their Grading |
Training started promptly at 9.30 for the peewee grades and
red belts, led by sensei Alan and Sensei Matt price (6th Dan) they
ran through basics and some fun kumite drills along with some last-minute kata
prep. First up grading we’re the peewee grades with success from James, Vismaya
and Jack to 10th Kyu next up
after a short break we’re the red belts with more success from Ella, Angel, Liya,
Kevin, Alfie and Evan to 9th Kyu as well as Harley, Jason and Mary
all taking very strong gradings to 8th Kyu.
Lunch fell after these gradings and it was time for a quick
bite to eat, and a much-welcomed surprise came in the shape of Brenda Sensei
popping in to say hello and see how the gradings were going. 1.40 came and it
was the yellow- purple belts up for their gradings and strong gradings they
were, showing off their skills in front of the full panel of Sensei Mike, Kieth
and Alan, first up was Joshua with a confident grade up to 6th Kyu
Following Joshua, Paul and Irena steamed there way to getting their 4th
Kyu grading in the bag.
Following these gradings it was on to the last set gradings for the day from 4th kyu- 1st kyu and it was success across
the board with some very strong gradings and for some the best karate they have
displayed to date, first up Poppy (M), Edwin and I (Ben) then alone from HSKC taking his 2nd
Kyu Aiwin came up and took charge of his grading and made sure he deserved it
finally we had the 1st Kyu grades coming up Lucy, Will (M) and Joe stepped
to the mark and all three put in maximum effort, determination and
held their
heads high absolutely amazing.
The senior kyu grades and black belts that weren’t grading
were being put through their paces by Matt price Sensei who started them on
with some kumite drills followed with detailed kata taking a deep look at enpi.
After a great day of successes we departed the grading with
some very big smile on our faces, I’d like to say a big well done to everyone
who graded and thank you to Sensei Alan and Sensei Matt for their instruction
and to Sensei Mike, Sensei Keith and Sensei Becs for their time on the grading
panel, and as always a massive thank you to Sensei Paul for all his work
arranging the course
