It was a great day for the instructors to see all the hard work and effort put in by their students come to fruition. Everybody did extremely well in front of a very intimidating grading panel of nine high grade examiners headed by Sensei Mike Nursey 8^th dan. I think I can safely say it’s one of the best days Knebworth karate club has had.

Congratulations to Jenny on passing her Black Belt grading. May 2007.

This was a four hour intense grading held behind closed doors and supervised by ESKA chief instructor Mike Nursey 7th dan. To achieve black belt requires intense training over a number of years and Jenny has exemplified this by training upto 6 lessons a week in some cases.

Well done Jenny
