Students from Acestes Taekwon-Do (ATC) Cullinan and ATC Rayton attended the first 2025 grading last month.

Making this event particularly special was three candidates receiving their black belts. Zion Alexander graded from black stripe first degree to first dan black belt.

“I am relieved all my hard work in training paid off to the point of receiving my first dan,” said Alexander.

Boosabum (bsb) Justin Collet graded from first to second dan black belt.

“I found this grading challenging and exciting, and am now even more motivated to grade further,” said Collet.

Ryan Stevenson graded to a blue belt, and Theresa Van der Linde to a blue stripe. Levi Alexander passed to a red stripe, as did Theuns Rossouw

“I am proud of the ATC Cullinan and Rayton results. Training for the 2025 tournaments will now proceed in full force, said Collet, who thanked Petra Diamonds and Naga Earthworks for making the sports centre available for training.

“Sabum Manie Nordè, again, a thank you for always making time for the students of Cullinan and Rayton.”

Collet invited all youngsters interested in joining the club to call him on 082 849 1964 for more information.
