Huge congratulations to everyone who passed their Grading today! Passing a grading is never easy, but doing so under the eye of Ohta Sensei is a massive achievement.

Ohta Sensei sets an incredibly high standard and today was no exception. Students all walked away with invaluable lessons on technique, varied combinations and focus.

Proud of you all!
