It has been a fantastic week all round for gradings. H.S.K.C had successful gradings with all their members and now The Karate Kids have finished the week on a high. 21 children entered for gradings and all passed! We had 10 children going for their first stripe (red). Even though this was a totally new experience they were calm and focused and showed good form. We then had 9 going for their yellow stripe and 2 for their green. I should give Edward a mention here as he triple graded to his green, and I'm sure with all the effort and continued enthusiasm he will go far.
All the children have progressed fantastically and show real promise. Not only coping with the gradings but with the dedication, commitment( also a big thank you to the parents who bring them) and learning a new language as well!
They have become a team who work and play well together. They are always quick(ish) to settle down and listen to what is being taught. Sensei Mike has been very impressed with you all and commented on how you were all becoming well developed Karate ka and looks forward to the day when you move up to the next class.
To say that I felt proud of you all is an understatement, just to be a part of your karate journey has been a privilege and I'm sure that all the other instructors would say the same.
