Following the recent Special Course and Dan Grading, I am incredibly proud and delighted to share some news.
At just 10 years old, Maria Hynd has achieved her Shodan Black Belt, passing with flying colours.
This is an absolutely outstanding accomplishment and a testament not only to her performance on the day but to the consistent hard work, dedication, and perseverance she has shown in every single class.
Achievements like this are never the result of one day alone. They are built through effort, focus, and determination over time.
Maria, you should be proud of yourself. Congratulations on this remarkable milestone.
Let’s continue to train hard and support one another.
