Douvris Martial Arts Barrhaven

THE DAY IS HERE! BLACK BELT GRADUATION!

After years of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and countless hours on the mats, 86 students are graduating for their Black Belt and 2nd Degree Black Belt today!

Earning a black belt is about much more than kicks and punches. It represents commitment, discipline, resilience, and the determination to keep going when things get tough. Not everyone starts the journey, and even fewer make it this far. Today, these students have the opportunity to show that all their hard work has paid off.

Remember: A black belt is not the end of the journey—it is proof that you never gave up.

Come support our candidates at the Black Belt Graduation Ceremony!
📍 Nepean Sportsplex – Yzerman Arena
🕒 3:00 PM

Good luck to all candidates—we are proud of you!
