Golden showing at grading
Cheddar-based Somerset Freestyle Kickboxing Club held a black belt grading event recently, with junior and senior students examined under the watchful eye of instructor Steve Selway 5th Dan.
SFK has a reputation for hosting gradings that are not for the faint-hearted. However, all the students arrived physically and mentally prepared for the stiff challenge that lay ahead.

Pupils had to perform and display the criteria required for the grading, which included extreme fitness tests, floor and mid-air kicking techniques, shadow boxing, rounds of pad work, set sparring, free sparring and two-against-one sparring.
Each grading lasted more than six-and-a-half hours. All the students were physically and mentally exhausted by the end but had displayed the techniques, fitness, courage and mental strength to pass.
