All students were successful in their grading attempt.

"I am proud of each and every one of our students who attempted their grading. They all trained extremely hard and gave their all. This determination meant that every student was successful in reaching their next colour Belt." said Shihan Peter Becroft.

The grading was divided into three groups. The first group saw the Little Ninja's grade.

The Little Ninja's Program is designed specifically to introduce students to martial arts and caters for students between the ages of 3-6.

The next two groups were split in the belt ranks from white to blue and purple to brown belts. Students were tested on their basics and Kata. Purple to brown Belts were also tested on their sparring.

Lilly Stanshall was also awarded the "Most Spirited Grader" for her hard work and outstanding effort.

"The most spirited grader award is presented to the student with the most spirit, determination and inner strength. Lilly was a very deserving recipient of this award," Shihan Peter said.

Students train under the instruction of 6th Dan Shihan Peter Becroft at his full time training centre located at Kew.

Shihan Peter has more than 43 years' experience in martial arts.

Mid North Coast Karate is part of the Goshin Ryu Karate Association - one of the oldest running clubs in Australia
