Black Belt Certificate Presentation Dinner

Mr Shannon Ryan and Mr Scherezade Panthaki receive their black belt certificates from Mr Nick Lee.We had a great night out last week with a dinner at Pandan Asian Cuisine to present two of our members with their Black Belt Certificates, Scherezade Panthaki and Shannon Ryan. Scherezade is the club’s first student to gain his black belt under the instruction of Mr Nick Lee and Mr Shannon Ryan. Mr Ryan is one of our longest serving members and it’s a fantastic achievement to attain ones 3rd Degree. 

We would all like to congratulate both Scherezade and Shannon for their achievements and hope to see many more of our students attain their black belt in years to come.
