Thanks to all officials and participants for a friendly and well contested competition.

Successful grading for these two with Sensei Ohta. They have come a long way since starting out.... Now 1 and 2 grades from black belt 🥋. Thanks to Plymouth JKA for organising and hosting, and the SW Region for supporting 💪 🙏 😊
