Wow, on Friday we had the first normal belt test of the new year. It was fantastic to see so many kids, and teens, push to take this test. Everyone did a superb job! We posted testing results in the school entryway.

On Saturday we had a children’s black belt test! So hearty young people stepped onto the mats and pushed themselves farther than they ever had before. We don’t have many of these tests, maybe one or two a year, if that. Seeing kids who have put years into training accomplish this goal is truly humbling. The results for this test will take a while, but they should be proud of the extraordinary effort they have put in! Spectacular!

How do we follow up that this week? The same way we always do—try to take over the world! Oh, wait, I mean get back to training! See you soon!
