WYSOK held its Annual Advanced Dan Gradings on Sunday 25th November at the Gallery Gym, Wakefield.  For someone to even reach eligibility for going Nidan (2nd Dan) they have to train at least 3 years from attaining their Shodan (1st Dan), apply to the WYSOK committee (Seniors only) before they even attempt the actualy syllabus.

Those going Sandan (3rd Dan) have yet at least another 3 years from Nidan (2nd Dan) and the syllabus is even more demanding as you would expect.  Those who graded today for Sandan (3rd Dan) have trained for between 9 and 11 1/2 years in total.

Congratulations to the following people on passing their grading.
