Congratulation Tony Newcome we passed his black belt at the Reading grading (Dec 2007).

He showed a fantastic attitude and good spirit in his kumite (even though he's only been getting 3 hours sleep a night for the past two weeks with the new baby's arrival!!). The Reading grading is one of the biggest in the calendar and this year was no exception not finishing until 6pm, which puts a lot of stress due to the long wait for the results.

We are very pleased with the result, as he has managed to put a great deal of work into training for this grading...   despite carrying out his "new daddy" duties!!
