Basingstoke martial arts academy Shin Gi Tai is celebrating a successful September after more than 140 members were awarded belt promotions following a weekend of grading exams.

The academy, located in Daneshill, saw both children and adults participate in the grading sessions held on September 21, with every participant successfully earning a new belt.

The highlight of the weekend was the exceptional performance of four young students – Olivia, Teddy, Lily, and Elara – who achieved double promotions.

Shin Gi Tai also hosted a well-received anti-bullying seminar aimed at promoting awareness and empowering attendees. It received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants.
