Dobbersky Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Black Belt Grading!!!!.The club's 2012 blackbelt grading has successfully been completed. I've nurtured the school from a few students to where it is today.3 candidates were up for grading. They gave 110% all the way through.The club has a new Nidan, Shodan & Shodan Jr.I'm grateful for the guest instructors who accepted my invitation to sit on the panel.

JohnnyB Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Huge grats to your Karatekas i'm sure they deserved the promotions in full!Did you have them do free sparring in the grading? Did they perform to your standard?Last time i witnessed free sparring was in Nidan Grading in our SKIF system. It was 2-3mins fights without any protection and both combatants were going full contact but it was hardly escalating because of the sensei refereeing.
