2. Gradings At Everton Park Dojo
Hi Everyone
On Monday night, 30th.March the following gradings were conducted. Gabriel led off doing his 5th.Kyu and did really well. Sylvie was justly proud and had her “Dat’s ma Boy” look on and the rest of us were very impressed, too. Next David and Michelle performed the 4th.Kyu Syllabus. Both have trained enthusiastically ever since they started at Everton Hills and that was rewarded when each turned in a fine grading. Many of you know Gabriel, David and Michelle from Saturday classes at Nathan. Finally, Cameron graded for his 3rd.Kyu. Cameron trained at Cleveland Dojo some years back. He showed the benefits of working with the fine teachers and students there and also that he’d forgotten nothing. It was an excellent effort. One aspect that deserves mention is that much of the training for all four was just one class a week. That is a hard way to learn, two lessons or more a week give far better continuity and understanding so that their achievements are all the more admirable. For me it was an evening to remember and I’m keenly looking forward to future lessons and gradings.
Regards,
Rod.
