Introducing our new Dan Grades.!!

Congratulations to Devarsh, Ivy, Jai, Neha, Ronav and Sudiksha who all passed their 1st Dan grading under the watchful eyes of KUGB Technical Committee members Sensei Jimmy Brennan 8th Dan and Sensei Frank Brennan 8th Dan in Walsall.

They all performed outstandingly well and should be very proud of what is a monumental achievement!

We took a small, inexperienced but enthusiastic team to the KUGB National Kyu Grade Championships in Derby.

This was a fantastic opportunity for our members to gain valuable experience within the competition arena.

All members tried their best and represented the club impeccably.

A couple of special mentions. Firstly to Radha who performed outstandingly, receiving medals in all 3 categories she entered.

Then, brothers Adam & Deen competing for the first time as newly promoted Red belts, narrowly missing out on the finals.
