Four students, including former Magistrate and UG lecturer Leslie Sobers, moved up from Yellow to Orange belts, while three others, among them being 71-year-old Patrick Lambert, graduated from White to Yellow belts.
Neil Bacchus, Lambert and Peter Persaud were successful among the six White Belt students and received certificates and their Yellow Belts, while Christopher Chin, Sobers, Althea Croal and Clive Jordon all collected certificates and Orange Belts at the grading which was done by Massiah and Sensei Lloyd Ramnarine from the Diamond DO JO. Ramnarine’s daughters Jaffar and Lafar did Kata demonstrations.
