In July we held a Special Dan Grade Course in Bath for those taking Shodan through to Godan and, for the first time since lockdown, we were very pleased to be able to offer training, with Sensei Billy Higgins, Sensei Jim Brennan and Sensei Frank Brennan, for those KUGB members grading – the first official course since the start of lockdown.
Although our numbers in Bath were limited, the passion and enthusiasm to train was definitely not and thank you to Team Bath for helping us navigate through all of the Covid rules and regulations.
Congratulations to the following people who successfully passed their gradings.
