8 of us attended an amazing seminar led by legendary Jean-Pierre Fischer on Sat 4th Feb.
6 of us went back on Sunday for another course and 4 of our young members participated in the competition followed.
3 won a medal each, and even the one who did not win a medal did manage to come in the 4th place in the highest category of Kumite tournament, which is a wonderful achievement especially for they all had to compete against more senior and experienced students from the headquarters!
We would like to express our great appreciation to Master Fischer for his great teachings, Chief Instructor Sensei Moussaoui for organizing such a fantastic event, and, last but not least, all our students and their families for their efforts and support. Keep training!
Just 16 people had been invited for our 7th grading exam. There is no secret. It is not easy to aquire techniques and quality required to achieve higher grades.
The good news is, Chief instructor Sensei Moussaoui commented on the improvement of our standard (and we so proudly agree with him) !
We believe this has been our best grading so far.
Well done to those who passed and also those who attended the pre-grading exam.
Keep training!

Now that we have more students with higher grades, fewer people will be going for each grading but the quality and the value will be greater.
