Sam Mulroy, Jack Biddick and Grace Phippard of Jujitsu Tavistock returned to training, proudly sporting their new tab they have recently been awarded.

The trio are eager to train towards their next tab which will bring them a step closer to the coveted black belt.

Just before the Christmas break Sam, Jack and Grace, after several months of hard training, entered a grading examination hoping to achieve the grade of nikyu which is represented by brown belt two tabs.

Their instructor, Umberto Bergonzini said: ‘Their hard work and dedication paid off and they passed with flying colours. ‘The grading panel was extremely pleased by their performance and character.’
