The 2009 mid year kids grading was held on the 20th June at the Burnside dojo. Well done to everyone!

Before the grading the kids were treated to a class by Brent Beaumont, a 5th Dan from Waitakere, Auckland. His classes are always entertaining and informative (for the kids and the parents), we look forward to his next trip down.

See below for a slideshow from Brent's class and the grading, as well as the full list of grading results.
