black belt gradings
27th September 2020
Our Association black belt gradings were cancelled back in April of this year, due to the pandemic lockdown. This weekend, after initially training online at home and then more recently back in the dojo, 14 Westwood students were finally able to take their gradings in a socially distanced, Covid-Safe event held by the TSKUK at Waterside Farm Leisure Centre on Canvey.

We're pleased to say we had a 100% pass rate, and the following students passed their 1st dan examination; Jack Murray, Josie Turner, Joshua Gershinson, Victoria Turner, Rio Patel, Brooke Kent-Webster, Isabel Holland, Simon Watkins, Avyi Robinson, Megan Henly, John Grant, and Samara James. Hannah and Luke Mitchell were promoted to 2nd dan to round off a very successful day for the Academy.
