TWO beating hearts of Cheshire Martial Arts Centres have been rewarded for their loyal service with further promotions.
At this year's Shukokai-Shitoryu Karate Alliance (SSKA) National Open Kata Tournament, the SSKA committee awarded and promoted their president and England head coach Paul Graham to ninth dan.
The committee also recognised the efforts of Ste Arnold, a senior member of the SSKA and popular CMAC senior assistant instructor, and promoted him to seventh dan.
Hanshi Paul and Shihan Ste have nearly 80 years experience between them in the art of Shukokai and Shitoryu karate.
Cheshire Martial Arts Centres can be contacted on 07831 418631.
The dojo is open seven days a week for traditional and sport karate classes.
