Course and Grading Sunday 17^th June 2012

The next grading course is fast approaching and in order to make sure our club members are ready for it we are planning to hold ‘mock’ gradings during training sessions on Thursday 24^th May and Monday 28^th May 2012(this training Session will be held at Ralph Butterfield School).

This will enable Sensei Mike to judge who is ready to attempt the next grading and identify any areas that need to be worked on in order for everyone to have the best chance possible. You will informed after the mock grading if you will be put forward to attempt your grading.

There are only eight training sessions before the grading course. Please can you make every effort to attend as many as possible.

If you have any questions about this, the grading syllabus, or anything else, please ask one of the club instructors of committee members.
