Congratulations to our newest Black Belt promotions!🥋

⭐ Jeremy Snyder — E Dan
⭐ Reis Snyder — E Dan
⭐ Eleanor Platt — Cho Dan
⭐ Elijah Finnigan — Cho Dan

Tonight’s promotions represent years of dedication, discipline, and hard work. Earning a Black Belt is not something that happens overnight, and it’s not something everyone achieves. Many students begin the journey, but only a small percentage stay committed long enough to earn the rank of Cho Dan (1st Degree Black Belt). Even fewer continue pushing forward to reach E Dan (2nd Degree Black Belt).

These students have shown the determination to keep going when things became difficult, the humility to continue learning, and the character that true martial arts training is built upon. Their accomplishments are a reflection not only of their skill, but also of their commitment, attitude, and perseverance both inside and outside the dojang.

We are incredibly proud of each of them and excited to see where their martial arts journey continues to lead. Please join us in congratulating them on this outstanding achievement! 👏
