New Dates for the Diary:
Huge congratulations to those who gained a new grade on Saturday. The enthusiasm and spirit from the junior Kyu grades was immense. Our pupils continued to display the high standards set by the group.
A number of Dan grades were awarded on the day, Special congratulations go to Fraser Cassell, Ellis Coughan, Ewan Cracker, Lewis Fox, Michael Freeman, Alex May and Chloe Startup who gained 1st Dans and Adam Bucklee, Jake Jenner and Luke Sandys who achieved 2nd Dans.
The day was made extra special by a surprise award… Our very own chief Instructor Sensei Glen Wright was awarded his 7th Dan.
A number of instructors & officials travelled to witness the presentation and for that we are grateful, thank you. A speech was make by Sensei Arthur Wallace, from which the below quotes have been taken.
“We are here to celebrate a karate career that has spanned a number of decades, we have watched the rising star take on a daunting task of running and upholding an association against competition from many larger ones in the southeast, and the KSKC is one of the best organisations I have ever been involved in. It is time we made you a higher grade, we have decided you need to get your 7th Dan. It is unanimously decided that this is the way forward for the KSKC. The KSKC upholds and maintains ridged standards and this is no light offering that we are giving you Glen. As Ray Fuller would say (an old Sensei that’s gone) you don’t want to go any higher as that means you’re going to die. So we will stick with the 7th Dan”.
Sensei was presented with a certificate & an embroidered Black Belt
The KSKC is proud to have our Sensei hold this achievement……On behalf of every one of us, well done Sensei Wright.
Sharon Vulgar 3rd Dan.
