Kyu gradings at University this Monday the 5th

Please note that the regular lesson is postponed this Monday in lieu of a kyu grading session. Same time and place as the regular lesson.

Practitioners who are not grading are still welcome (and encouraged!) to attend if they want to offer their ukemi services to those who are.

Please note there will be no official “warm-up”, so arrive early if you want to stretch before your grading.

Remember also that kyu gradings cost £10. For last-minute revision don’t forget to check the syllabus.

Good luck to all!
