Congratulations go to Brandon Woolway of Norton Radstock JKA Karate Club who was awarded his first dan black belt at the JKA England grading held at the K2 Crawley on Sunday, 5th December 2022.

The grading was conducted by Sensei Ohta 7th dan, Chief Instructor of the JKA England and followed the three day international course attended by Sensei Hirayama 7th dan, from JKA headquarters Tokyo.

Brandon has been a member of the club for over ten years and has been training especially hard in the months leading up to his grading. His success was a fitting reward for his dedication and effort.
