2 test for Master Level (4th Dan), 1 for Sam Dan (3rd), 1 for Shodan (1st) Candidates!
Saturday's Promotion Testing marked a milestone at LOMA, with two candidates testing for Master-level 4th Degree Black Belt, one for 3rd Degree, and one for 1st Degree — plus several color belts advancing in rank. It was a day full of determination, discipline, and skill, as students at every level showed composure, focus, and genuine passion for the art. Special Thank you to Edie Parsons and Angie Manous for Judging. Way to go, everybody!

It's lovely to see so many far flung students return to Athens over the summer, and I love it when they drop in to train!

Nick Shih prepared and taught classes in July as part of his test for 4th Dan
Will Pence graduated from high school and immediately took off on a solo road trip around the U.S. When he swung through this region he made sure to drop in and that gave us cause to celebrate. And since he was here anyway he decided to do a shark tank where he fought everybody in the gym one after another.
