Sunday 21st Feb 2021 Grading for 5th Kyu Purple Belt.

Good Basics Kelly and a really good body movement. Your kicks were really good especially mai geri and mawashi geri. I could see a good clear difference between yoko geri keigi and yoko geri kekomi which was really good too. Your katas were heian nidan , heian yondan , heian shodan then Heian Yondan again which were all preformed very well. Well Done

26th June 2022 Grading for 3rd Kyu Brown Belt

Kelly you need to lift your legs more in you Tekki Shodan. You seem to have a good understanding of your your kata though. I need to see more of a clear difference between yoko geri keagi and yoko geri kekomi. Try to put a bit more focus into your basics you kept calm and didnt make any mistakes which was good. Well Done of a decent grading.   

17th March 2023 Grading for 2nd Kyu Brown Belt White Stripes

Basis 8

Kata 8

Kumite 7

A really good grading Kelly but try to relax more. Your ushero geri needs a bit of work it needs to be more fluid. You have a nice ura mawashi geri I was really surprised. Your basics were very tidy and you have a really good understanding of yoko geri keiagi and kekomi. Infact all your raw basics were very tidy. Kelly your bassai dai was good but try and extend out the kekomi kick more during the kata and make sure the front stance and back stance are more clear. Also remember that the back foot comes up on the keiagi part in heian nidan. You also did really well during the pad work. Well done Kelly on a good grading.
