PROMOTIONS


Due to the pandemic and resulting shutdowns, we did not have testing for much of last year. We resumed in the winter and spring of this year with a "rolling" process that involved testing in segments. It was difficult and inconsistent, but we got the job done. These are the current ranks of our active students. Keep in mind our after-school programs have been dormant since the pandemic began.

From Shobukan's "Ancient History"

A 25-ish Shihan Majane working kata in his girlfriend's backyard, circa 1992. Chubbier, hairier and a bit less gray, if there was room to do so, I was practicing. The red belt rank in our former system was between green and brown 3. And yes, I know my pullback is wrong and my other arm is too straight. Hey, that's why I was practicing...
