On the 23rd March 2009 12 Students from the Maitland Australasian Defendo CQC Academy attempted their grading.

11 students were successful in attaining their next belt.

Congratulations to all students achieving the grade of Yellow, Orange and Green Belts, and also to those students who achieved the higher grade of Black tip for their exceptional performance during their grading.


The standard of all students was extremely high and showed dedication and commitment to Defendo and their continual growth.

The next senior grading will be taking place at Maitland on the 30th March 2009. Good luck to those students in attempting this grading.

A Kempsey venue has been found in Aldavilla and a commencement time will be announced shortly.
