Black Belt Grading

I DID IT! Today i had my black belt grading down in Derbyshire, after training hard for a year once i had gotten my brown belt i have finnally achieved my black belt. Im the one in the middle smilings from ear to ear with Soke Robert Clark looking like he has his head on my shoulder. I was over the moon!

In this past year i have attended 3 courses, passed my Kata 4 grading, been awarded Junior of the year and broken my wrist again. I've had the best year ever (in terms of Ju-Jitsu).

A BIG well done to everyone who graded today and especially to Emma and Amy (my partners who are sat looking up at me on the front row)

Now get the chance to train with weapons for my gold tabs, till i hit 16, then 2nd Dan it is...I cant wait! :D
