Ten Newton Aycliffe Martial Artists successfully upgraded this week. The grade was an excellent showcasing of traditional Martial Art. The hard work the students have put in was evident throughout the evening. Through the Mudo Academy syllabus the Martial Art is truly inclusive, with students aged between 5 and 50 years old, all performing true Martial Art. For most of the students this was their first experience of grading and they truly rose to the occasion. The commitment shown by everyone was admirable and we look forward to seeing you all grow and develop as we start now preparing for the next grading. Congratulations to you all.
