Grading a great finish to term 2. 25/06/2011

 

What a great finish to term two Saturday 25th June 2011. Not only did the coloured belts shine and display all the hard work that they have been putting in over the last three months, but our two newest Black belts Adam Kehl (on my right) and Joel Houghton (on my left) again have raised the benchmark for all those who wish to follow in their footsteps. 

Congratulations to our two newest yellow belts Theo Sellwood and Bruce Jones a daunting task for anyone going from white to Yellow belt.  

Well done everyone.
