Dan Grade Assessment Report

March 20th, 2022 by admin

Dan Grade Assessment – Fri 18th March

Well done to all candidates that attempted the WBK Dan Grade Assessment last night.
We witnessed some outstanding karate and saw some vast improvements from previous weeks. Those students who were successful are to progress on to the weeks course and the Dan Grading,
There is still plenty of work to do and some fine tuning to work on.  – Keep up the hard work over the next three weeks.
For those students who were unsuccessful, be proud of what you have achieved so far and your journey up to this point. The Senior Instructors strongly believe that with a few more months of additional training you will get there. – As many of the instructors said from personal experiences, you do not want to be entered and fail on the day.
Keep up your hard work, commitment and support to your peers and instructors. We look forward to working with you to achieve your goal of becoming a Dan Grade.
More details will be released over the coming week in regards to the Dan Grading Weeks Course.
