More DOJO News

We have had some very good tests this fall.  On Saturday December 15, 2007 Ms. Cole, Ms. Hansen, and Mr. Perry graduated to the level of First Brown Belt and they are now training for Black Belt.  They could test as early as May 2009.  Drew Riebe now Mr. Riebe achieved Second Brown Belt.  They all had a really great test. 

When the students have successful tests performed with power, intensity, and confidence we all feel fulfilled and I feel validated as an instructor.  As the saying goes, if you want to know about an instructor’s abilities, look at his/her students. 

I wish everyone a healthy, productive 2008.                                Sensei
