Never mind it was Fathers Day I bet every parent was proud of their children grading yesterday at Oldbury School of Black Belts Head quarters. I witnessed some tears of frustration from some of our little students but they battled through to complete their test and achieve their next belt, Russ Hingley made sure they were put through their paces, you can call it graduation, best exam or gradings but with us you have to step up to the line and do you stuff, for the adult class had an extra element into the class in the form of a special fitness test, this is designed to pressure you right from the start….there is no getting away from the fitness, if you aint trained hard enough it will show and you fall in the first 5 minutes. I have to say they had all trained enough over the past few months some students taking advantage of training 3 & 4 times a week. These were some of the best spirited grades I seen in a long time.
