George Nye (pictured) has just gained his brown belt in freestyle karate under instructor Mark Fry black belt 4th dan.  George has been training at the Te-ashi-do Club since the age of seven and is now working towards his black belt.  His grading included knife disarm, kicks, punches, set sparring and  jo-staff patterns, in which he gained a score of eight out of ten — an almost perfect routine.
