6th Degree Grading
On Saturday 9th March, Senior Instructor and Lau Gar Guardian Peter Hornby, took an examination for his 6th Degree Black Sash at a Guardian training weekend in Lilleshall.
The examination was taken by Master Jeremy Yau on Saturday afternoon.
When announcing Pete's result to fellow Guardian's, Master Yau stated ‘the grading is judged on Martial Art Merit alone regardless of contribution to the association’.
Congratulations to Pete Hornby for passing his 6th Degree.
Pete is delighted with his result and has worked hard for many years towards his 6th Degree. |

To achieve your 6th Degree, you are required to create a set of movements incorporating the characteristics of Lau Gar. The set can be either open handed or using a weapon or students may create both.
Pete Hornby is based in Stafford and teaches in the surrounding areas.
Pete has been training for many years under the guidance of Master Yau and John Russell and has selflessly contributed to Lau Gar and the Association.
Pete now joins a handful of other senior instructors that hold the grade of ‘6th Degree Black Sash’, they are Andrew Nation, Graham Abdulla, Keith Thomas, Morag Quirk, Raiko Dokic and Alex Barrowman.
There is only one person to have achieved the level of ‘7th Degree’ and that is John Russell, this is the highest grade ever awarded to date.
