At the South Coast kyu and dan grade competition held in Worthing on Sunday 21st February, Henry Dean (Pyrford) won 30 points towards his Dan grade. He only needed 14 and he also took the Silver medal at the competition. Having already completed his theory for his 1st Dan he can now wear his belt (subject to confirmation by the Dan grade registrar).

1st Dan for Nathaniel Farmer (Sovereign) won at the Budokwai at his first attempt, winning all his contests including a lineup. He also completed his theory on the day.

Peter Vincent (Westcroft) added his BJA Dan Grade to his BJC Dan Grade following the National Grading at High Wycombe on Saturday 10th April 2010. This is a great achievement holding two Dan grades at 15 years of age. Peter passed his Dan Grade in a line up beating the final opponent in the last 15 seconds with a yoko tomonoeage ippon throw. Peter won his fights with three ippon throws, one hold down and an armlock.
