Black Belt Gradings

On Saturday the 11th of June at the Arana Hills Dojo we hosted a series of Black Belt gradings.  The judging panel on the day consisted of Sensei Patrick McCarthy (9th Dan/ 8th Dan Ju Jutsu), Sensei Peter Hills (4th Dan Aiki Kenpo Ju Jutsu) and Sensei David Thompson (4th Dan Aiki Kenpo Ju Jutsu).  It was a great day with a good turn out of Friends, Family and other Ju Jutsu Students.  More importantly it was a great display of Ju Jutsu technique and spirit.  Special mention should go to the stand out performance of the day of Glen Wallace for his outstanding display of determination and technique under pressure, the hallmarks of a great martial artist.

All participants were successful in achieving the belts they set out for and are detailed as follows.
- Peter Hills  - 5th Dan
- Glen Wallace & Josh Magar - 2nd Dan
- Jace Debono - 1st Dan

A special thanks must also go out to Emily & Joe for their work as uke's for the day.
