Well done to all those passing their grades this year. A special well done to the students jumping grade
Dan Grading Passes
Sunday 15 May
Students who train at Skipton Karate Centre on Broughton Road, recently travelled to Cheshire to attempt their black belts.Hakeem Din aged 14, Nadeem Shiaz aged 14, Naheem Din aged 13, Rebecca Newbury aged 12 and Josh Lee aged 11 were all successful.
In order to pass the student has to show a wide range of techniques, ranging from kicking, punching and blocking combinations, kata,
self-defence and fighting skills.
All of which have to be performed with a high degree of skill. Each of the students had trained extremely hard for this and all of them deserve to pass.
All the students agreed that the worst part of the grading was waiting to start and waiting for their scores.
They were very nervous as it means so much to them. Failure was not an option.
" They need to keep training regularly now and who knows in two years time they could be taking their 2nd dans. But for the moment they need to
enjoy their achievements and be proud of what they have accomplished", said Ian Spence (Chief instructor)
