On 4th July 2010, Sunday, EA Doce Pares christened the new gym with a great 5 hours of grading.
The grading was based on the 5-year Doce Pares Multi Style System curriculum designed and written by Doce Pares Supreme Grandmaster Dionisio A. Cañete.
Ermar Alexander and Kevin Angeles were both present to test the candidates. Kids and Adults all did their tests at the same time which lasted 5 hours. The gruesome final test lasted almost 2 hours for the Brown Belt 3 grading.
The Purple belt candidates also each subjected to a 3-man line-up with headgear and padded sticks, while the Brown belt 3 candidate to a 5-man line-up finishing with a double stick bout.
