Congratulations to the Nashville dojo instructor staff on their achievements this year. They have worked hard over the years to accomplish this and have earned their new titles with distinction. Both Sensei A and Sensei Aldridge have proven themselves to be very competent instructors who have inspired students over the years in the martial arts. The dojo is thankful to have such a dedicated staff.

We also congratulate Master Lindsey Culbreth on her promotion to Shichidan, 7th degree black belt. Master Lindsey is a very accomplished and dedicated black belt instructor in the American Karate Academy who has trained alongside her husband, Master Michael Culbreth, and Master Stonerock for many years.
