TKF is proud to announce that we have a new 4th Dan Black Belt in our ranks! TKF member Freddie Grice managed to pass his 4th Dan grading in Japan in front of a panel of JKS Instructors which mostly consisted of 8th dans.
Freddie had been training in Japan for a couple of days as part of the JKS annual trip to Japan where they get to train with other JKS instructors at the world renown JKS Headquarters. Freddie then took his grading where he had to perform his own choice of kata, a kata from the panels choice and then free sparring with an opponent. Freddie passed with flying colours and earned his 4th Dan successfully. Following this, he continued his trip in Japan with more intense training at the JKS HQ.
We would like to congratulate Freddie on his amazing result.
