Bradley Saunders
2nd Dan

My name is Bradley Saunders. I am 14 years old and in August I will have been practicing with the Yoseikan Karate Association for eight years. I began when I was just six years old at my primary school club. I had already tried my hand at Judo, but I didn't really enjoy it. My father had done Karate when he was my age and achieved his black belt grade before he quit. He persuaded me to give it a go and I loved it from the first lesson. I continued to train at my school club until I achieved my yellow belt. I then began to attend other classes outside of school. Over the years I rose through the ranks and after much hard work and determination, I was awarded my 1st Dan Black Belt last November. I currently train in the senior class on Tuesdays and recently Sundays. I hope to continue training for many years to come and hopefully open my own classes someday, (Bradley currently holds a 2nd Dan Status.
