Tom's Grading

On Tuesday, 30th July 2013, Zanshin senior Brian "Tom" Bolton graded for his 3rd Kyu brown belt in our Portarlington dojo. Tom had a tough grading in bag and pad work, kihon, kata and kumite (against single and multiple opponents). He was judged by a grading panel of Zanshin instructors Senseis Gerard Walsh, Keith Walsh, Proinsias Ó Fearghail and new black belts Senseis Ollie Henchy and Fergus Fenlon. Also present was Edenderry Shotokan Academy instructor Sensei Gerard McCarthy. Tom did very well, impressing us all with his skill and commitment. Well done! Congratulations also to senseis Gerard, Keith and Paul for putting so much effort into Tom's training.
