Congratulations to each student as Shihan has had his last promotion test. This was a celebration of sorts. Most of the students in this picture has been there from 35 years to 50 years.
Belts awarded, Five 2nd degree, five 3rd degree, two 4th decree and two fifth degrees. Shihan made sure that the hard training resulted in great comradery, esprit de corp and discipline with a great deal of humbleness and respect. Thank you Shihan for a life time of service.
