We were delighted to host guest examiner Sensei Neil Jerome, who ran a training and kyu grading for us on 15 March 2025 at Shooters Hill Sixth Form College.

Sensei Neil first spent an hour teaching the brown & black belts on more efficient movements and throws. Then he spent another hour afterwards running an all-grades class focusing on syllabus to help them through their grading.

We had 31 students grading under the watchful eye of Senseis Neil and Georges and are delighted that all passed as below. After the grading we moved to the Red Lion pub with the Senseis for a lemonade.
