Kate Judo (Kate Brown) was awarded her black belt tonight at Manchester Fighting Spirit Judo Club by none of than Rowena Birch and Mark Judo (Mark Montrose).

Kate is a stalwart of Manchester Judo Club - not only an excellent fighter with a wicked ko-uchi-makikomi and seo nage, but supporting the club in so many ways.

She's been our welfare officer and an excellent and dedicated coach for the kid's classes, always happy to muck in, help out and look after others.

An incredibly well deserved achievement.

Well done Kate!
