Chinese Boxing Grading and Course

The grading / course was held on Saturday 11th May 2024. The turout for the grading and the course was very encouraging. We were also really pleased to welcome three members of our North Borough Primary School, Tuesday - KIXX After School Club, to the grading. Their parents accompanied them and were impressed with their childrens progress. We would also like to thank Ray, Stuart, Marcus, Ruby and Emily (Emily also graded!!) for their help and support all day.
