Karate Black Belt Testing

We have three students testing for black belt ranks over the next two weeks.

Please come by to watch the rank tests, regardless of your age or art.

Karate black belt testing is uncommon. We have 2 students testing for the rank of Shodan (1st degree black belt). After this, we will not have another Shodan candidate for approximatley 3 years!!

We have one student testing for the rank of Sandan (3rd degree black belt). The last time someone tested for this rank was 9 1/2 years ago in 2001! The rank of Sandan is a very big deal, as it is the rank at which a student becomes a teacher and earns the title of Sensei.

Hope to see everyone there for these very special rank tests!
