Sensei Eric Williams failed his physical 5th Dan grading back in october 2013. He was very upset and it made him very determined. All that knew about his second attempt yesterday were himself, his second Sensei Lloyd and his brother Sensei Chris, who drove him, apart from the grading panel. I only knew this morning when his photo was posted on FB with his certificate! This was the way to do it in my opinion. Well done Sensei; we are so proud of you! Osu!

He was overcome with emotion; they spent the rest of the day enjoying a good meal and peace and quiet before driving home to North Wales.
