Sensei Blane & successful students. Congratulations to all.

Big congratulations to all those at Tyne and Wear Yamaguchi Goju-Kai today on their first grading. We had 21 students grading today, juniors and seniors, all attempting their Yellow belt (9th Kyu) grading under Mark Purcell Shihan with help from Chris Lively Sensei.
