Congratulations Joe Miller

Joe tested for his Black Belt on August 21, 2008

Joe had a great test. He took advantage of his opportunity to test by being prepared and having a great performance. 

He demonstrated all the skills that he has learned over the course of the five years he has been training. 

Joe joins three other siblings, Cayla, Zac and Libbey, that have already earned their Black Belts at our school.

On June 21, 2008 Brian Piejak successfully completed and passed his 1st Dan Black Belt Test.

Congratulations to you Brian (bottom right).  Job well done.

Thank you to the testing board for your time and talents.

On Thursday, March 6, 2008, Patrick Wilson tested for his 3rd Dan. 

Tyler Farr tested for his 2nd Dan Black Belt test on April 12, 2007.   Tyler was ready for his 2nd Dan test on the 2nd Anniversary of his 1st Dan test conducted in February 2005, but had to wait until his 13th Birthday.  Two years of training after 1st Dan and being 13 is a minimum requirement for 2nd Dan.  So on his birthday Tyler was tested hard for his new rank.  He performed at a high level on everything that he has learned since he began training at the age of five.  Tyler performed 14 Forms (over 300 movements), did at least 400 kicks, 20 one step sparring, nine knife defense, 8 self defense one steps, falls, bag work, sparring and board breaking.  He broke seven boards with three breaks: two boards - turn back skip side, two boards - jump spinning back kick, and three boards - flying side kick.  All three breaks were successful on the first attempt.  Tyler has raised the bar for all those that follow him in testing for this level.   Belt presentation was Thursday, April 19, at 7:00 p.m.  Congratulations!!
