Grading Results July 2011

Students graded from 1st to 2nd Degree (Nidan). Excellent effort and strong finish after completing 30 x 2 minute rounds of sparring, a grading level well deserved. Chanters for this grading were Shihan Mark Baxendine and Renshi Mike Thompson. The 3 that graded were Jayshri Patel, Simon Farquhar, and Patrick Childs all from Remuera Dojo Auckland.

Students graded from Brown Belt to Black Belt (Shodan).Chanter for this grading was Sensei Amanda Tuarau. You all put in an effort worthy of a black belt and I’m sure all instructors will be proud to have you stand out the front with them. Peter Wass, Peter Maxwell, Karl Smith, Shaun Hill all of Thames Ian Kerry (Cambridge), Kelly Pratt, John Benson, both of Remuera Cody Robertson (Hamilton), Hayden Ward (Katikati)

Students graded from all other levels. It was a great standard throughout all these levels and well deserved, also awesome effort back to the instructors for making gradings easy by making sure all students knew what was required of them to pass to next level.
