Five students took part in gradings today (Sunday 30 August) at the Bootle Dojo.
Four of the students were awarded their Mon Grade for their White. The clubs uses Mon grades as steps to a full belt grading. The fifth student graded to White (7th Kyu).
The certificates were presented to the students by Shihan Peter Smith and Sensei Jane Saunders

The pictures immediately above include team photos (with and without bunny ears) and the class closing with practising counting to 10 - today we covered English, Spanish, French and Japanese.
Thanks go to Sensei Saunders for taking the gradings, Pauline and Mason for the photography, Lindsey, Will, Mason O'B. Alfie and Kearna for helping ensure the gradings went smoothly. The parents, family and friends also deserve thanks - without them we would not be able to run the club.
Well done and congratulations to Finley F, TJ, Franky DM, Mason and Frankie W!
