This evening a Dan level grading took place in the dojo.

Unbelievably proud of the five students that were outstanding in their efforts and thoroughly deserved the accolades achieved.

These seniors through many years of training have always been committed, had excellent attendance and through a lot of hard work reached very high levels in technique, strength and fitness.

A true credit to themselves and LDMA 👊🏻
