Seasons greetings to all Kaisho students and parents. This week we held a grading for six of our students, and I am delighted to say that all were successful. Two 12 year olds, Harris and Felix passed their 7th kyu Orange belts with flying colours. Next up were father and son Mark & 11yr old Rowan and 18yrs of age Cerys Thomas taking their 5th kyu Blue belts, I must say that Rowan has improved tremendously over the past year, which also saw him awarded student of the year. Cerys performed superbly again and just goes from strength to strength. Last but not least, 17yr old Josie Cryer took on the daunting task of 3rd kyu Brown belt, the first of three before Black belt. At first Josie showed signs of nerves, which is quite natural when taking a big step up, but soon got into her stride with some very commendable Kihon, basic techniques, performing her Kata, Kushanku which she was quite nervous about before hand, I was very impressed, well done, the rest of the syllabus she did well, so congratulations Josie, we are now looking forward to a Healthy and prosperous New year, best wishes to all at Kaisho Wadoryu Karatedo club.
