08-06-24 - All passes on latest Grading and a new Black Belt for the USKA Fight Factory!
We seen another busy USKA General Grading today at the USKA Fight Factory with 39 new Grades being attempted.
With Grades from Red Belt (1st Grade) to Black Belt 1st Dan (11th Grade) USKA Senior Instructor Qasim Beg was joined by USKA Chief Instructor Neil Kelly to really put our candidates through their paces in an examination which in it's entirety took 7 hours (8 hours including the warm up preparation class).
Some amazing results today with some very strong performances with special mentions to our A Star graders in Ahmad Mamoon Khan (99 / A Red Belt), Ollie Cooke (96 / A Yellow Belt), Mateusz Klaczek (91 / A- Yellow Belt) and Ibrar Rafiq (92 / A- Yellow Belt)
Another Star Grader and very special mention to our 1st Dan Black Belt candidate Shakeel Hussain who after 10 1/2 years and training since the age of 9 year old successfully passed his Grading with a pass mark of (92 / A- 1st Dan Black Belt).
An amazing achievement considering that he has been very busy winning 3 World Kickboxing Titles and actually trained for this grading simultaneously while training for a 4th World title that takes place next week in Barnsley.
Congratulations to all our successful Graders and a big thank you to Instructor Qasim Beg on your continued hard work in getting them ready.
Our next General Grading will be held in September for anyone interested in attempting their next belt.
