Black Belt Grading Results: October 2025

CONGRATULATIONS to our club’s newest Black Belt grades!

Athika Kadar, 1st Dan
Rod Hizmeri, 2nd Dan
Owen Gargan, 2nd Dan.

All three students were put through a tough grading yesterday by the GTI panel. We’re very proud of their hard work and dedication to training in the run up to the grading, and this shone through on the day. Solid performances from everyone.

Well done to you all! Very well deserved.

2025 GTI National Open: Results

Great work from everyone at the GTI National Open today!

Our team’s medal count: 10 gold, 5 silver & 2 bronze.


Well done to all our fighters, including Raza and Tess, who missed out on the medals but were both amazing. A special shout-out goes to Elise, who was competing for the first time. She made it to the play-offs in patterns and won gold in her sparring category!

Whatever your results, be proud of what you’ve achieved and always try to think of something you can improve on for next time.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with coaching, officiating and supporting the team.
