On 24th May 2008, Shizu Clifford Hyde-Gomes received 9th Dan in Chum Kune Do at the National Martial Arts Awards 2008.  I and all of your students would like to offer our congratulations at this exceptional achievement.  You stand as an example to all of us.

The Chum Kune Do Instructors and Students were Honoured by a National Award at the Hilton Hotel in Bradford.

Shizu was awarded his 9th dan by the President and Directors of Black Belt International, Master Paul Griffin & Jimmy Kirk.

No other club, school and academy rewards their students more than Chum Kune Do Martial Arts Academy for its students achievement.

The Standard was very high and the students were put through their paces to be worthy of their Sash.

Well done to all.

Chum Kune Do successfully hosted the British Open Martial Arts Tournament, which was held in Rainham, Kent. The high standard of the competitors was only matched by the heart and desire to win as martial artists from different clubs came together to compete for fantastic trophies. All fought hard, and the winners truly deserved their hard won glory.
