Samurai's dan grading 23 November 2026

Well done to all the people who took part in the Dan grading today and worked so hard

What a fantastic amount of women that turned out for this weekend's dan grading at the Samurai!

Amazing to see so many Kyu & Dan grades going up to 3rd dan. What an opportunity. Well done to all those who took part and got their points towards their next belt

There were exactly 100 entrants in all including 30 women. Highest male grades were 4th dan and highest female grades 3rd dan. We also had enough veteran men 1st kyus to run a separate sheet for them, which worked well. Dates next year are June 6 and November 7. If numbers continue at this level, we will look to increase to three a year for 2027, but we want to maintain the high turnouts for the benefit of the players.

Thank you to everyone who helped on the day, you were all amazing and hope that you all enjoyed as much as I did
