The first dan gradings of 2020 were supposed to be done March 22nd…and then Covid-19 came….
So the first promotions of this year were postponed to July 4th. The candidates had to wait a bit longer, and the circumstances were not ideal, but they did a great job!
Were promoted:
As from July 1st on, contact is possible again, just as the use of material and training equipment. Moreover, groups can be enlarged up to 50 persons.
The use of mouth masks & desinfectants is highly recommended, just as outdoor classes.
