🥋 2026 Belt Promotions & Group Photo! 🥋

On September 10, 2026, we held belt promotions for students who successfully met the requirements of both the written and skills examinations.

We are proud to announce that **four students were promoted to Yellow Belt and two students were promoted to Orange Belt!** 🟡🟠

Everyone did a great job on their tests, demonstrating the knowledge, technique, and effort they’ve put into their training. It was also a great opportunity for our newer students to see what will be expected of them when their own promotion day comes.

Congratulations to everyone who earned their new rank!

Keep training. Keep learning. Keep moving forward.
