We have great pleasure in announcing that at the SHOTO grading event held on Saturday 19th October, Chris Curtis and Graham Zabel both successfully passed their Shodan gradings, before an extensive and no doubt daunting panel of SHOTO seniors headed up by Sensei Blain and Sensei Kilcullen.
Congratulations to both Chris and Graham and also to their current and previous instructors Sensei Eche and Sensei Jil.
It was an extensive grading covering Kihon, Kata (Enpi) and Kumite, resulting in two happy and exhausted Karate-ka, well done both.
