Sensei Peter Wright 5th Dan - Shihan |
|
Shihan Peter
is a strong believer in maintaining a high standard of Karate including those students obtaining Dan grades and the responsibility
that goes with the wearing of a Black Belt. Although running a very successful Dojo running for over 20 years, only a handful
of students have been graded to the prestigious level of Black Belt. Our Black Belt page shows our Dan Grades which are still training |

Sensei Simon Weaver 4th Dan Sensei
Simon Weaver took his 4th Dan Black Belt assessment under the AMA Technical Committee on Saturday 24th
March 2012, the test lasted over 2 ½ hours under the scrutiny of Shihan Peter Allen 7th Dan, Shihan Peter
Wright 5th Dan and Sensei Alex Mason 4th Dan.
The test started with Kihon Ido Yon, the most advanced moving basics in the Goju System, followed by
Kata from the entire senior syllabus starting with basic Taikyoku through to Kururunfa.
Once the Kata was completed Simon had to perform every Yakusoko Kumite section thanks
to Shihan Pete offering to show them; however this didn’t stop there as he also offered to show Shihan Peter Allen all
of the advanced Bunkai and Kata above the grading requirements and this has led us to show a full demonstration during the
next European Championships in October 2013.
The final sections of the grading was Kumite and the remaining Kata, Sanchin and Tensho; during the Kumite Sensei Alex
was kind enough the offer to fight Simon for durations of 4 minute rounds – this was good to watch!!
We would all like to congratulate Sensei Simon on achieving his
4th Dan Black Belt!!!
