Congratulations to all those promoted. I can't imagine how challenging testing must be at that level. My 1st Dan tests were pretty tough (and I don't mean because of all the techniques and forms, but because of the length and drills--you have to be in pretty good shape to not look bad). Anything above 3rd Dan must be something else.
Congrats to the new Masters promoted at the WKSA European Championships. Paul Codling - Norwich, UK Kris French - Lowestoft, UK Ian Hall - Norwich, UK Stephen Johns - Norwich, UK Keith Slack - Lakenheath, UK Scott Slack - Newmarket, UK Chris Winter - Dereham, UK
