Congratulations to Mark Vasquez who was promoted to Sankyu brown belt last night. Next to Mark are assistant instructors, Alejandro Mora, James Beck and Calvin Sessions who led the class for head instructor, Bob Uemura. Mark started judo in 2022 in his late 20’s and has made great progress. Sensei Bob tells Mark all the time that if he came to practice more regularly and commit to improving his judo he can be much better. Hopefully, getting his Sankyu brown belt will motivate Mark.
