Ban Bu Test...

Promotions...with a special guest...Master Aaron "Ace" Reis!!

We held another ban bu camp this morning and awarded a few new belts. Please take a few minutes to give these students a high-five for their hard work. Students were tested on a physical portion (including a run, pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups), a written test, an essay, basics, kata, self-defence, showtime kicks, and weapons forms. All performed well...you should be proud of yourselves! You guys are amazing...and the hard work really does pay off. I will post more pictures soon...so come back to check those out...
