Year 7 student Ollie Roper went to Bath on Saturday to attempt for his Shodan, Karate black belt, 1^st Dan.

He trained and graded under Sensei Andy Sherry (9^th Dan), the UK’s top instructor, and Sensei Bob Poynton (8^th Dan).  And he passed with flying colours! Ollie started Karate in August 2015, and this is a culmination of almost 4 years of hard work and a huge achievement for a 12 year old.
