Well done and congrats to Alquen on passing his 4th kyu grading.
Anyone that knows Alquen knows he trains hard and deserved the chance to move up with his classmates at the grading a fortnight ago.
Unfortunately however he couldn’t make the grading due to a family commitment so a separate grading was held for him on Thursday night

The fact he was the only one grading meant all eyes were on him, which I’m sure provided a little more pressure than if he were grading in a group. That said, if he was nervous he didn’t show it as he turned in a solid grading deserving of promotion.

Hopefully, he managed to get Friday off work otherwise I suspect it might have been a long uncomfortable day courtesy of some the “enthusiastic” partners he had in the Kumite.

Grinding it out

A few pix from the CCMA shinsa held last weekend. The grading was only from 10th to 4th kyu as anyone in the south wanting to grade to 3rd kyu or above is required to wait until the combined dojo grading at the end of the year.

It was no surprise that in typical Kyokushin fashion they put everything into it and I'm pleased to announce that by the final Osu they had all passed.

Also happy to report they wasted no time in getting their fresh new belts to wear at Tuesdays class!😃

Congrats and well done to all !
Osu.

Happy Birthday Kev Shi.
A few of us at the dojo chipped in and bought you another mustang! It should be arriving soon.
We knew you weren’t happy with the red one we got you a couple of years back so this one’s blue.
Enjoy 🎁
