A Black Belt Grading is a test of knowledge, endurance, spirit and character. The three students had to demonstrate their knowledge of Basics, Applications of Basics, Kata (forms), Sparring and Self Defence. This test takes place over a 2 day period.
The three students train under the instruction of 6th Dan Shihan Peter Becroft. Shihan Peter has over 40 years experience in Martial Arts and has been teaching Karate in the Camden Haven for over 20 years.
"I am so proud of Sempai Jay, Patrick and Jade. This is a fantastic achievement for each of them and is the result of years of hard work, commitment and dedication." said Shihan Peter. "The students were well supported at the grading with a large contingent of fellow students and family members also travelling to Sydney to support the graders".
The celebration of their achievements continued when they arrived home with a presentation evening being held. The graders were able to showcase their Grading Kata's and Grading Demonstration to the rest of the club.

This is evident with the development and achievements shown by Sempai's Jay, Patrick and Jade." said Shihan Peter.
