The Chuldow Black Belt and Advanced Dan Promotions for kickboxing and karate were held at Chuldow HQ on the 16th and 17th of September 2017 and what a great weekend it was. Starting with Kickboxing on the Saturday Kacper Grala of Morley and Tina Johnson-Hollings of Rothwell represented themselves, their Instructors and their Academies superbly and after a gruelling test of their skill and determination were both successful in achieving 1st Dan.

Achieving a black belt is an achievement to be proud of, it takes hard work and determination but once that goal is achieved it takes increasingly more effort, determination and strength of character to progress beyond it. Mr Martin Bell, a familiar face to many at Chuldow, exceeded that and went on to earn promotion to 4th Dan.
Congratulations to all!
