Ella and Aleena make the passing grade

Congratulations to Ella and Aleena who achieved their 1st Dan (Shodan) black belts on Saturday 11th December. They were tested by a panel of 5 senior instructors that consisted of Senseis Scott Langley, Bob Rhodes, Simon Bligh, Paul Uren and Ricardo Galina. Aleena and Ella join the burgeoning yudansha ranks alongside Catherine Clarebrough and Charlie Jackson! Well done girls! Highly deserved and justly rewarded after all the effort and time you put in over this last 12 months. Who is next, I wonder? #karatekids #karate #martialarts #shotokan #karategrading #grading #exams #test #lancasterkarate #blackbelt #yudansha #hadashisenshidokarate
