Instructors Chris Drieschner (6 PM Class) and Tom Argue (7 PM Class), successfully graded for their Nidan rank (Second Degree Black Belt) this past June in front of the Judo BC Grading board.
Thanks to Harley who did a great job being the Kata partner in Tom’s and Chris’ grading, and good job to Kurt who also helped a Judoka from the Abbotsford Judo Club obtain his first degree black belt.
