Tonight we said goodbye to Sensei Caden. Caden and his family are moving to Texas. Caden has been with us for nearly 10 years, starting at the age of 5 in our Little Dragons program and earning his Sho-Dan, 1st Degree Black Belt last September. He has been a great assistant instructor through his brown belt ranks and as a black belt. Caden will be greatly missed. Sensei Krystian was kind enough to give him some parting gifts this evening! 😁
