Grading, 17 May 2014
For many of the students this was their
first martial arts grading. All were very aware that they had put in the
necessary training time and the only deciding factor between success
and failure would be their own attitude and performance ... ... it would be up to them whether they were to pass or fail.
Everybody put in 100% effort
which was all that could be asked of them. But effort alone is not
enough to pass because the examiners are looking for attitude, spirit
and focus within correct execution of techniques:
Successful candidates are
awarded their British Wadokai certificates and updated licences which
form an official record of their training progress ... and of course
that next belt!
And finally, a moment to relax ...
... and take pride in achievement
Before it all starts all over again!
