Black belt tests over! Come congratulate the yudansha candidates
Our black belt tests concluded today with the kata and waza portions of the test.
Please share your congratulations with the new yudansha prospects who have just passed: Dusty Alexander, Andrew Dicenso, and Steven Waldstein!
They all passed with flying colors. Some of the Shihans and instructors mentioned to me that they were quite impressed with the form. technique and zanshin of the candidates. The promotion ceremonies when they receive their black belts will be at the end of January.
