We’re very pleased to announce that after a gruelling grading, Fides Desacada passed her Nidan (2nd Dan) grading earlier today in Glasgow.

After months of continuous hard work and preparation, Fides succeeded at this difficult test of physical and mental fortitude.

We extend our gratitude to the grading panel and our heartfelt thanks to those who supported Fides in her training and on the day of the grading.

This has been very inspiring and we look forward to welcoming her back to practice.
