Huge Congratulations to our students Liam O Connor, Donnachadh Farry, Caragh Doyle and Lase Tuyo. All promoted to 1st Degree Black Belt at the INTA National Black Belt Examination last Saturday 4th December.
All of these students have trained regularly for a minimum of 7 years and are very worthy of their new rank. Their preparation in the year leading up to the test meant that each of these candidates were at the very top of their game for this very comprehensive test. Students were tested in Patterns, 3,2 and 1 step sparring, free sparring, fundamental hand and foot techniques, theory and power.
As an Instructor it is a very proud moment to see our students reach this level.
Black Belt though is not the end of the Journey but just the beginning.....
