A great round of applause & congratulations go out to our three Senior Belt Testing Candidates for successfully accomplishing their formal belt test held on October 9th 2021 at Mr. Meli's farm. An arduous test indeed, beginning with a cross country run, the "horse-back-riding-stance" with knowledge & academic questions, a round of calisthenics, line drills, combination techniques, trouble shooting, rolls & falls, down & ground fighting, kata, and of course several rounds of sparring with our Black Belt Instructors. "Shout Outs" go to Tyler Williams earning his 1st Brown Belt, Gabriel Camp earning his Blue Belt & Conner Covington earning his Green Belt. A task well done gentlemen! Additionally we would like to thank our Karate Family for attending this test and supporting these three young men during their test, and to our Black Belt Instructors who put them through their paces. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu! Sensei Cronauer.

All of you did an outstanding job in accomplishing a demanding task! I am proud of each of you! And all five of you are now a part of an elite group. The One in Ten Thousand. Welcome!
