Big day on the mats!

Five of our students stepped up for testing and pre testing today, and every single one showed strength, focus, and determination.

Three students tested for their black belts and absolutely crushed it. One student completed a pretest on the path to 4th degree.

And a special shoutout to Dorela, who tested for her 4th degree black belt and did an incredible job. She is now MDTSD’s second female to test at the master belt level, an amazing milestone!

Congratulations to all, your hard work truly shows.
