NeilT Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 wel after 5 years worth of training at 2 different clubs I took and passed my black belt shodan grading yesterday Grading went as well as could be expected, only a few stance mistakes in the katas section (nerves) apart from that quite happy with my performance, and still buzzing from the adrenaline rush! The style is a very traditional Shotokan, based in Leicestershire, England. Taking new members if anyones from this neck of the woods and fancies signing upNeil. 1st Dan Black Belt Traditional Shotokan Karate
