KUGB Grading Exeter Dojo:  Sensei F Brennan 8^th Dan

Our first normal training session and grading for nearly 18 months did not disappoint. We had a fantastic turnout from all of the local clubs within our region.

Sensei Brennan put everyone through their paces with a very detailed lesson, challenging everyone to take their Karate to a higher level!

We started with our new junior class, who all performed very well, especially as this was their first time in front of a senior grading examiner! Most of them, this time around were not ready for grading but I’m sure will take many positives forward for our next grading in December.

The adult class consisted of many kyu grades and 24 black belts which gave everyone that special atmosphere you get when training in the company of so many senior grades. The attitude from everyone was excellent throughout the session.

Clubs in attendance: Exeter, Exmouth, Lympstone, Willand, Tiverton, Brixham, Tsutahashi, Cullompton.

Special mention to Sensei Chris Luecke (see photo) from the Liverpool Red Triangle club who also joined us for the training session.

Any KUGB members are always welcome on these training / grading nights.
