Guyana Wado Ryu Karate Association host successful grading exercise

Dec 15, 2013 Sports

Seven-year-old Sadelle Britton of Mae’s Primary School was among five students who were successful in the Shodan (First Degree Black Belt) when the Guyana Wado Ryu Karate Association (GWKA) held its final grading exercises for 2013 at Mae’s Primary School Dojo and Banks DIH Sports Club Dojo recently.
Sixty (60) students were examined by Fifth Dan Sensei Winston Dunbar, who is the Technical Advisor/ Chief Instructor of Wado Ryu Karate in Guyana. The four other students who secured First Degree Black Belt were, Imran Khan, Simeon Campbell, Daren Bobb, Alfred Hescott and Sierra Evans.
The remaining students were graded in the ranks of seventh Kyu to first Kyu. Britton is the youngest Black Belt student in the Association. She has been training in the art since she was four years old and has been diligent and committed to her craft.
Her diminutive stature is misleading since she is never afraid to mix it up with the older and taller students, Darren Nurse, President of the GWKA said. Almost half of the examined students attend the Mae’s School Dojo which has had Wado Ryu Karate being practiced there for a period of approximately six years.
The school has opened its arms to the GWKA with an extremely supportive administrative staff, who are interested in seeing the club continue to blossom. Sensei Dunbar said he was extremely pleased with the performance of the young students who have showed dedication and commitment which could open many doors for them.
