New Junior Dan Grades!

💥 Yesterday, after lots of hard work, we awarded two Junior Dan Grades! Massive congratulations to Pavan and Lilly-Mae!

💥 These two students have put in so much work over the last few months, after achieving their Brown Stripe Belts, in preparation for the big day. They have done everything we've asked of them - perfecting their own technique to the best of their ability, supporting other students and helping them with their gradings, leading stretches and lower grades in exercises and attending sparring sessions on a weekly basis to work application - and all that hard work has really paid off!

💥 We are so proud of you guys, it was tough in the heat and you both smashed it! Pushing through the difficulty and showing that true martial arts spirit!

💥 We are all looking forward to seeing the next steps of your martial arts journey with us here at WBBA and can wait to see you both back on the mats this week wearing your new belts with pride!
