On the 29 of March, eight (8) out of twelve (12) students of the Parfait Harmony Martial Arts Academy (PHMAA) branch of GIKMAA took part in a karate exam under panel of three judges headed by Shihan A. Nazim Yassim, moving from one level to the next.
The full results of the exam were as follows:

From 10th Kyu To 8th Kyu Yellow Belt (Skipping the 9th kyu level) – Marcus Jaikissoon, Ashley M. John, Nishan Ganesh, Bibi A. Fazeela, Inshan Ganesh and Analee K. John.
Aneia A. John moved from white belt to 7th kyu Orange belt with 96.5% success in the exam.
Fourth Dan black belt, Sensei Marcell Lynda Yassim of the Parfait Harmony Dojo was very pleased with the ability of her students, saying that the students have worked very hard to get to this point where they have successfully moved from one level to the next.
