The attendance of nearly 700 people, 3 Grandmasters, 5 Masters and 33 different organisations/groups shows the direction Open ITF are taking, new friends have been made and many old friends reunited. A wonderful atmosphere throughout the day.

There were some outstanding performances praised by Mr King from the Beccles students, newly promoted green belts Paulina Borkowska and Joel Thrower, along with Tyler Mingaye who had an excellent 1st grading.

A special well done to Beccles’s Blake Goffin for passing his Provisional Black Belt grading and being awarded his Black Tag belt, Blake will now start  preparing for his full Black Belt grading to be performed in front of GTUK Grandmaster Oldham IX degree at a later date.
