Congratulations to Miss Catherine Divine promoted to 5th Degree and Mr Paul Cain promoted to 4th Degree.
The ITF Senior Degree grading was held on Friday 23 September. The importance of the occasion was highlighted by the distinguished grading panel on the day, lead by two 8th Degree Masters: Master Trevor Nicholls (VIII Dan) and Master Roy Oldham (VIII Dan) who were assisted by Master Jim Hogan (VII Dan), Mr Mark Ogborne (VI Dan), Mr Mandeep Rauli (V Dan) and Mr John Archer (V Dan).
The grading was most definitely a true test of Catherine's and Paul's resolve, lasting in excess of four hours. Both were thoroughly examined on their ITF syllabus, Self-Defence, Sparring, and Breaking. For events such as this, where the intensity and importance of the occasion was evident to everyone, including spectators, everyone who participated deserves special congratulations. For all involved, this one night was the culmination of four years of training, and in some cases even more.
