We are proud of each and every student who trains with Excalibur Martial Arts and are keen to celebrate all achievements, whether it be learning a new pattern, perfecting a kick or being successfully promoted at a grading.
Those students who go on to achieve a Dan Grade have dedicated thousands of hours of training, perseverance and a tough training regime to reach their goals. As a colour belt, a student may see the achievement of their 1st Dan Black Belt as their ultimate goal, however, when they reach it they realise that, really, it is just the beginning.
