How great it was to have our Black Belt grace Whakatane yet again.  We had the privilege of holding a 2 hour seminar at the Sunny Gyms (Thanx Sian for the spot).  This is the second time Geoff has come through and as usual, leaves a dam big impression on the club.  Fantastic Day!  To Sam Stephens (GC/10th planet), John Aligheri (GC/10th planet), Tazz (Tu Kaha), Gingles (R.O.A), and even had a visit from up and coming ripper, Bobby Mules (Douglas Santos).  Keep an eye out for Bobby he’s got a big future in the sport.  Was great to see you guys come from as far as Hamilton, Auckland and Gisborne.

A few Blue Belts were given out that day as well:

Congratulations to Aaron Grace, Kingi Williams, Scotty Enright, and Paora Rangihika.

Congrats guys.  Your blues were well overdue.
