A total of 47 students, including 11 taking their very first step on their martial arts path, came through their gradings.

Grading officers travelled from Manchester to evaluate the standards and, in front of a nervous crowd of parents, partners and family members, everyone gave their best, resulting in many Merit or Honour awards.

Club instructors Sensei Antony Howell and Sensei Steve Parkin congratulated them all for their hard work, focus and commitment to the self-defence art.
