Dan Grading Report
Many congratulations to our students who successfully passed their Dan Gradings this morning. It has been a tough journey and today was the toughest part, Well Done!

For those students who were unsuccessful, be proud of what you have achieved so far and the journeys you have been on. Today wasn’t your day and unfortunately didn’t meet the mark during the examination. Failure isn’t the end of the road (I know from experience). Keep up your hard work and commitment. Please continue to respect and work alongside your instructors! A re-examination will be organised during December.

On behalf of the WBK Committee and Dan Grade Panel, thank you for the huge amount of spectators who attended the grading today. It was fantastic to see so much support for the candidates.

Jordan Hopkins
WBK Chairman
