New Dan Grades

Mark Lemon moves from 2nd to 3rd Dan whilst Adrian Williams progresses to 2nd Dan - he's now off the first rung of the ladder...only a few more to go before they're both Grand Masters!
The practical was a 3 hour affair comprising of the usual requirements of skill, strength, technique and endurance and was followed by a 1 hour written examination. They performed well on the day which is always a nerve-wracking event, so well done lads!
