Grading, Christmas Party, and Annual Awards Celebration
On Saturday, December 7th, 2024, Phoenix Martial Arts in Swindon hosted a day of celebration, combining grading success with festive cheer and recognition of exceptional achievements.
The day began with a grading event that saw members testing for their new belts. For the first time, all participants graded simultaneously, allowing parents and supporters to watch and share in the excitement. The standard displayed was impressive, reflecting the dedication and growth of all members. This new format, which enabled a more inclusive and engaging experience, will continue in 2025.
Following the grading, the Rising Phoenix Committee organized a fantastic Christmas party, transforming the studio into a festive wonderland. Highlights included a visit from Santa, who handed out presents to delighted children in his grotto, as well as music, food, and refreshments that created a warm and celebratory atmosphere. It was a full house, with members and families coming together to enjoy the festivities.
During the party, members who successfully graded received their new belts, marking their achievements in front of their peers and families. The event also included the presentation of our annual awards, celebrating those who have gone above and beyond in their martial arts journey throughout the year.
The success of this incredible day wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of the Rising Phoenix Committee, whose dedication made it an unforgettable event.
Phoenix Martial Arts continues to build a thriving community where martial arts excellence is celebrated, and members feel supported both on and off the mats.
