We were delighted to welcome back Sensei John Parnell 6th Dan to help our Sensei Frank run a training and kyu grading for us. This was the first run by our Sensei Frank after having recently qualified as a kyu grade examiner. Sensei Georges Dussart 6th Dan also helped.

We had 50 students grading — a record for our club — and we’re delighted to say all of them passed. Well done everyone!
