Shihan Julia commenting on the success of the Grading Day said: “Students showed considerable commitment and skill throughout the day which culminated in an outstanding performance by Paul and Graham. The England Renshinkan School is developing immense energy and producing outstanding athletes who will represent England in 2015. To that end, over £200 was raised in order to help squad members with the considerable costs of competing on an International stage. My sincere thanks to all the parents and supporters.”
