Anthonie and Gerald left on Saturday afternoon for Stichting Budo Kai Sei in Zoetermeer.
Once they arrived, they quickly changed in the dressing room and warmed up on the training mat.
They were the first to take the exam.
Anthonie went first to show what he had been training so hard for.
After his exam, he could sit on the sidelines and wait, as his exam was over.
Since they were taking the exam together, the results would only be given once both had completed their exams, so Anthonie had to wait in suspense.
To pass the time, there was another person’s exam in between, after which it was Gerald’s turn.
After 20 minutes, Gerald’s exam was also over.
And then came the nerve-wracking wait for the results!
The final verdict was… Both PASSED!!!
On behalf of Budo Gouweleeuw,
Anthonie and Gerald, congratulations on achieving your 1st Dan Grade!
