Osu everyone!! Congratulations to all students who conducted their belt examination this weekend!! You guys ROCKED that test!! There were soo many pictures of all of our wonderful students that we could not put them all in, however a Sensei could not be more proud of each and everyone one of you!! We had some milestones also this testing cycle from students advancing from beginner's to advanced, from blue belts to brown belts, and brown belt to red belt!!! We are so blessed to see these wonderful accomplishments because this ensures that we are not only increasing in our number, but also our retention ratings are off the charts! We know that we are growing in our dojo family when one of our test was JUST white belts, and their student numbers rivaled all of the other test! Congratulations again to all and I look forward to everyone's continued success!!!
