A terrific grading last night at Hillside dojo!!! 9 members graded and all were successful. New belts and certificates will be awarded in our next class. The standard was great last night, and I was very proud of all of our students. The adults were terrific, but most excitement was for our juniors Erjan, Zachary and Jerome who demonstrated technical skill as well as strong spirit!!!! Congratulations. The future of karate-do, and Shushin Kai is in good hands!!!! The grading was video'd and after Marc has edited the footage, copies will be made available to members. The attached photo shows the pre grading basics session. Front row features the juniors, Jerome,Erjan and Zachary.
