Francisco received his black belt today. He and Davi did a very nice Nage no Kata, Francisco went through the Go Kyo no Waza , then responded to every request for technique from Gaeshi, Renraku, Kumi Kata, osaekomi, shime, kansetsu, and escapes that Sensei Paul, Sensei Pablo and myself could come up with. Davi was an excellent uke. Francisco is our first student to get black belt here who started here. Congratulations!
