Firefly classes have gotten off to a great start. We have a whole class of new white belts, a full class of intermediates, and a full class of advanced students. White belts are very excited and learning quickly and the intermediates and advanced retained all their skills over the summer break, and are working hard on new ones.
We finally got to practice outside as the blast furnace of Summer started to slow down.
