SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
It is with great pleasure that we announce the following students and congratulate them on their outstanding achievements.
Santhosh Thirukumaran – 1st Dan
Santhosh has been training with us for the past eight years. His hard work, perseverance, and dedication have been evident throughout his journey, and his commitment has truly paid off. Achieving 1st Dan is a significant milestone that reflects not only his technical ability but also his determination, discipline, and character. We are incredibly proud of everything he has accomplished and look forward to seeing his continued growth in karate.
Aran & Yuvan Suthakaran – 2nd Dan
Aran and Yuvan have always demonstrated a strong foundation in kihon and have gained valuable experience through competing in numerous tournaments over the years. Despite both moving on to university, they remained committed to their karate training whenever possible. Their determination, consistency, and passion for the art have enabled them to successfully attain the prestigious rank of 2nd Dan. Their achievement is a testament to the dedication they have shown both on and off the dojo floor.
A black belt is never simply given—it is earned through years of commitment, resilience, and hard work. More importantly, the qualities developed throughout the journey, such as discipline, respect, humility, and perseverance, extend far beyond the dojo and remain with our students for life.
Congratulations to Santhoash, Aran, and Yuvan on these outstanding achievements. We are incredibly proud of you all and wish you every success as you continue your karate journey.
