Congratulations to Crosby Peake and Bernhard Tandean who successfully presented for their Sho-Dan (1st Dan) and Ni-Dan (2nd Dan) respectively, at the NSW Black Belt grading last Sunday 30th November. Crosby qualified on the basis of the competition stream and Bernhard via the Kata stream. Both gave high quality demonstrations. Well done also to Budokani Maxwell Zollinger who completed his Sho-Dan grading a year ago and who partnered Crosby for his grading. Both Crosby and Max started at Budokan as Mons so it very satisfying to see home-grown Budokanis achieve this major milestone.
