Here is the, slightly belated, April 2025 update for the Ki Federation.
The high grades enjoyed their recent combined group course for 6th, 7th and 8th Dans. We were very grateful to have Sensei Williams take another class during the morning session of the course. Some Dan Grades were upgraded at the end of the course, so we send our congratulations to all of them.
- Upgraded to 7th Dan: Daniel Derrien, Paul King, Graham Mackenzie, Carl Myers, Louise Quinn, David Sotheran, Roy Youdale, Yiannis Stavrinides, Bruce Reed and William Fearbunce.
- Upgraded to 8th Dan: Bonita Cornish, Ros Davies, Mark Greenley, Steven Woolfall, John Quinn and Mark Cornish.
As we have just two members taking their 1st Dan Grading on the Spring Seminar, that grading will now start at 11;00am. We will require Dan Grades to make ukemi, so please let the office know if you can attend. The social, on Saturday night, will be held in the Watchfield Pub.
- Saturday 17th May: Dan Grading at 11am. Open course – 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
- Sunday 18th May: Open course – 10:00am to 12:00pm and 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Kyu Grading at 3.45pm.
Our best wishes go to all of our UK and international students.
