Students’ grading in Dragon style Kung fu

Apart from the fact that this is the 10th year of its operation in Malta, recently a number of students who are currently practising Kung fu within this school have completed their annual grading sessions by demonstrating proficiency levels in this Chinese Martial art .

Under the guidance of Sifu Mark Spiteri (and assisted by black belt, Daniel Portelli), students successfully demonstrated various different techniques ranging from a wide variety of kicks, punches and blocks, choreographed fighting movements (called forms or taolu) and a range of realistic Self-defence techniques, including defence against a variety of holds, kicks, hand strikes and weapon attacks. 

Following the grading examinations, a ceremony was held within the club premises in Sta. Venera whereby  successful students were awarded their much awaited sashes and certificates by Sifu Mark in the presence of all club members.  Sifu Mark had words of praise for all his students who have trained relentlessly throughout the last months.  In the meantime, he also thanked a number of advanced students who are already practising relentlessly for their examination in mid-year.

List of successful students who participated successfully in these Gradings are:-

Yellow Sash –      Yanik Galea, Jonathan Spagnol, Noel Galea

Orange Sash -   Neville Fenech, Sean Fenech, Luke Fenech, Colette Sciberras, Albert Portelli,

Green Sash –  Cheryl Tonna
