Well done Yellow belts last night. 2 hours of hard work and showing what you can do. Bagwork, sparring, focus pads etc all worked through.
New BKO wristbands have arrived!
They come in all grading colours. When you grade you will get a belt and a wristband. If you want backdated ones they will be 50p
Remember all BKO gradings are Free
.
Congratulations to all who passed their gradings in April.. Geoff (Yellow) Pat and Dale (Orange) and Jess and Josh (Red)
Just before Christmas the Black and Brown belt gradings took place. Dan Kipping and Tom Wilson gained their black belts and Robert Rivers and Rhys Clarke their Brown Belts.
All four candidates had been specifically training for six weeks prior to their grading which took place over two days. All had to successfully perform basic and advanced techniques, many defensive disciplines.
18 rounds of bagwork and 18 rounds of sparring including ponts, continuous and full contact. It was very hard work, testing all aspects of kickboxing and each performed to their best ability.
Well done and congratulations to you all.

Congratulations to all the red bels who succesfully gained their grading on Saturday. After completing the six week beginner course, each student had to demonstrate their basic techniques, combinations, defensive blocks and perform 2 minutes on the bag showing good form, speed and power. The standard was high and maximum effort was needed to come through. Well done everyone!
These students can now attend any of the other classes. In addition we are now looking to create a dedicated Yellow belt class for any red belts. Keep looking on here for more information over the next week.
