On Sunday 3rd November 2019, ESKA and Westwood members attended the TSKUK Course and Black Belt Grading at the UEA Sportspark – Norwich. Following the 2 hour training course a grading took place in front of a panel including Sensei Alan Parrish 7th Dan, Sensei Jason Hitchings 6th Dan, Sensei Nathan Bond 5th Dan and Sensei Carol Parrish 4th Dan. Years of dedicated training and commitment resulted in a very successful grading with 50 students achieving their 1st Dan Black Belt and 9 students achieving their 2nd Dan Black Belt.
