For most people, the thought of participating in a martial arts class may be intimidating. It takes a special person to take that first step into the unknown, create new habits to learn, and go far outside of their comfort zone to experience something special.
As time passes in the martial arts, fewer and fewer students have the grit and perseverance to test for the higher belts. Black belt testing takes place only once per year, so for those who make the commitment to test have a lot on the line.
On July 7th 2024 we held our annual black belt testing at our Kitchener location, and we are happy to announce this years promotions.
Amir Syed, Matteo Gentile, Arvind Johal, Miguel Mejia, Rebecca McElrea, Jameson Koppeser have all been promotion to Shodan (first degree black belt). Yashasvi Modi has also been promoted to the rank of Shodan Kobudo.
We sincerely appreciate everyone’s hard work and determination over their training and look forward to everyone’ progress in the future.
