Congratulations to every one who graded this past weekend.

A lot of time and effort goes into organising a successful grading, our appreciation goes out to:

• Takase Shihan for officiating the weekend and taking the Saturday seminar
• Andrew and Irene Williamson for organising everything
• All the instructors that got us ready
• All the uke's that helped us look good
• Our families who let us train - including the mum's and dad's that get the kids to classes!

We have a short clip of Gary's yondan (4th black belt) grading ready to view - handling three attackers where many of us struggle with one - see below.

This may have been the most photographed grading yet, so be patient and we should be able to get a great selection of photos and video clips together during the week - drop off any cd's of photos you have at the Burnside dojo for James to pick up.
