Kyu grading preparation

Club regulars will have noticed that recent training sessions have featured a lot more syllabus material drill for all karateka. Sensei Bell is planning to run a kyu grading session within the next few weeks and has suggested that any student hoping to attempt their next belt will need to continue to practice outside club and be familiar with their grading syllabus. Students are also reminded to check their WIKF license renewal dates.
