Traditional Shotokan Karate in Sunderland, UK

Black Belt grading

On the 4th July Kevan Mitchinson, Chief Instructor of Dokan Gudonishijima, and his fellow club members Tom Daley and Bailey Baker attempted a gruelling five hour Dan grading under the guidance and knowledge of Sensei Christine Pullan, 7th Dan Shotokan Karate.

A fantastic display of skill, knowledge, hard work, determination and commitment resulted in all three being successful in passing their grading.

Many congratulations from all our members as they now become:-
 
Sensei Kevan Mitchinson - 4th Dan.

Tom Daley - 2nd Dan.

Bailey Baker - 2nd Dan.
