Miss Holmes received her 2nd Dan Black Belt grade in August 2024 after successfully grading in April 2024. This experience was rather different from her previous dan testing for 1st Dan which occurred during covid lockdown in October 2020 with social distancing measures in place.

She began training when she was 7 years old in July 2015. She has competed at national competitions, starting in 2019, accumulating 4 trophies including a 1st place for sparring in 2019.
