Brown Belt Black Tip!

Huray! N made it! Thank God for her elephant memories!

The instructor pre-warned, right at the start " Nic has to practise at home...or else I can gurantee that she is unlikely to make it at the senior grade. "

Thanks to her truly elephant memory, she passed with flying colours despite a zero home practice! Her pattern was very firm and swift, full of poise and confidence. The most worrying part - sparring. She did fairly well too. This time, she let go of her kicks and demonstrated many defence tactics. We were really pleased with her performance. Looking back, when she started 2 years ago, she actually broke down on her first grading. She was frightened by the sheer crowd and had to be pursuaded multiple times before she was willing to enter the hall.

Now, with 1 more grading to go, she would technically be a Black Belter, pending the official conversion when she reaches 15 years of age.

Well done, sweetheart!
