Massimo Gaetani awarded 6th Dan

Massimo Gaetani 6th DanIt’s with great pride and pleasure that we announce our head coach and founder, Massimo Gaetani, to be awarded his 6th Dan Black Belt on the 14th on May.  Massimo received his 1st Dan in June 1989, when still training in Italy. Achieving the 6th Dan 35 years later is the result of many years of consistent and relentless dedication to training and teaching martial arts to many thousand of students during the last 25 years at CARISMA. Peter Edward, president of Kickboxing GB (formerly WAKO), awarded Massimo his 6th Dan by stating “the club is very good, all students are very good, the way the class is run is very good, everything is very good“. Massimo added: “I am honoured to receive this as a recognition of my work and efforts in practicing and teaching kickboxing and martial arts; now the counter resets and I am looking forward to my 7th Dan in 7 years”.
