SKGB Kata Championships
This was the first time our juniors competed at an open grade event with Miss Monaghan taking 3rd place & Miss McLaren placing 4th, well done to both.
Grading Success
The first dan grading with our new association provided us with a new sho-dan (Leanne Shields), two ni-dans (Joe Shields & Eddie Rae) and a san-dan (David McKinnon)
well done to all, especially as the grading lasted almost two hours after a five hour course, I think they certainly earned their grades.
