Grading Examination Results
We held our very first Grading Examination at The K2C Centre on Sunday May 30th and it proved to be our most enjoyable and successful grading ever .We were delighted with the venue as it gave us enough space to have everyone on the floor together and we also had plenty of room for spectators . This no doubt added to the atmosphere and helped everyone to give a brilliant performance in front of their parents, relations and friends. We decided to change the format of the grading this time and put the Pre Black Belts on first, in order to show our newer students the standard they are aiming at .We explained that everyone can reach this standard provided they put in the time and effort. This was a bit of a gamble as we were putting our reputation on the line and would have ended up with egg on our face if they under performed. We needn’t have worried as everyone came up to the line and did themselves and us proud. The whole grading lasted 2 hours as scheduled and we would like to thank everyone for being so attentive and well behaved .( especially the adults )--joke We were pleased to announce that everyone passed their grade with flying colours and we felt obliged to award a number of double, triple and even one quadruple grade. We don’t easily award double grades but felt we had to acknowledge and reward the effort and progress that these particular students had made in training. The following passed their Pre Shodan (1st Black Belt ) examination Nollaig o Donnell --Dylan Murphy ---Jordan Murphy -----Maria McElhinney --- Elaine Mc Gee The following passed their Pre Nidan ( 2nd Black Belt ) examination Deborah o Donnell ---Aine o Donnell ---Ann Marie Healy --- Dean Kearney --- Liam McElhinney Joe Tom Hayes , Jonathan Adams Promoted to Orange Belt were ; Ryan Cullen --- Christopher Horgan ---- Taisce Ryan Promoted to Red Belt were ; Timmy o Mahony ( quadruple grade ) almost unheard of Promoted to Yellow Belt were ; Louis o Sullivan --- Meaghan Cullen --- Aoife Thornhill ( double and triple grades ) Adam o Flynn --- Ian Mc Carthy ---Cathal Kearney Promoted to Green Belt were ; Victoria Kingston ---- Ellie Power --- Andrew Barrett --- Cian Mc McCarthy --- Darragh Hughes
