Nobleton Karate praises students’ accomplishments

May 21, 2013 · 0 Comments

Nobleton Karate held their second grading on May 1, followed by the ceremony on May 8. Testing was based on a combination of form, technique, sparring, self-defense, stamina and spirit.
“We devise the testing to be challenging in order to see how the students handle pressure and they all performed at or above our expectations,” said Sensei Rocco Morelli, one of three senior black belts assessing the students.
A total of 22 students progressed to the next rank including yellow stripe, yellow, orange stripe and orange belts.
Sensei Giancarlo Esposito recognized Logan Hall as an outstanding student for his focus, dedication and determination.
“I am so proud of what the students have accomplished in such a short time within the club and at tournaments,” said Sensei Esposito, owner of Nobleton Karate and Kai Shin Martial Arts.
Students participated in the Mississauga Martial Arts Tournament April 21 and brought home several medals, an impressive achievement for students training less than one year. Of particular note were Stefano Lucente (first in sparring and third in Kata) and Lorenzo Rossi (first in Kata).
Nobleton Karate continues to grow with students filling up evening classes, bubbling with excitement to learn the new and perfect the old; even the push-ups are taken with a positive attitude. The club has added other programs including Women’s self-defence, Women’s CardioKarate and Kid’s Yoga.
A Summer Introduction to Karate will be offered in July and August to new students that would like to try out the martial arts.
