Congratulations to the successful candidates at the kup grading on the 27th February. These results also includes those who tested/re-tested in class in March.
There were some very good performances with improved sparring work. However for a number of candidates the spirit and energy level was below what which was really expected. This will need to be improved before they next test. Additional focus is also required on side kick and back kick as quite a few candidates were insufficiently extending the leg in these techniques and so losing effective power.
Special recognition to the students who achieved Credit passes; Eleanor McDevitt, Eimee Brown and Tony Rice. The next kup grading will be on Sunday 29th May.
