GRADING SUCCESS! 🥋🔥

Huge congratulations to all of our students who successfully passed their belt gradings! 🥋🔥

​Grading in Kyokushin is never given, it is earned through hard work, discipline, and pushing through sweat and fatigue on the mat. Every single one of you showed incredible spirit (Osu!) and technique, making the entire
Instruction team extremely proud.

​Whether you achieved your very first belt or stepped up to a senior rank, your dedication to training and self-improvement is paying off. Keep pushing, keep training hard, and wear your new grades with pride!

​Special thanks to Shihan Kevin, our instructors, and all the parents and members who came down to support.

​Onwards to the next level! OSU! 👊

Practice makes progress! Gregory put in a solid performance in his Kata category. Seeing him translate those hours in the dojo to the competition mat was great. We’re proud of the discipline you showed, Gregory! 🥋

William showed great composure and focus during his Kata performance last week. It takes a lot of discipline to perform with that level of detail in front of the judges. Proud of your progress, William!

Huge shout out to Sam! 🥋
​Stepping up into the Brown & Black belt category for the first time is a major milestone, and Sam handled the pressure like a pro. He took to the mats with a sharp ex*****on of Pinan Go showing great control and focus.

A week ago today at the BKK Kata Championships. 🥋

​Our Junior Team put in a really solid performance to take the win. Team Kata is tough to get right, but their timing and focus on the day were spot on.
​Big thanks to the parents for the lifts and the support. 👊
