Hi all, 

Congratulations to Des (now shodan), Georg (now nidan), and Beck (now nidan) who tested for black belt ranks this weekend. 

Thanks to Georg & family and Des for setting up and coordinating filming of the tests, which I think turned out great. You can find these test videos on the dojo YouTube channel, here:

A notable congratulations as well to Ben Wood (now nidan), who tested before his international travel. 

Thank you to all four test takers for their years of training and preparation for these milestones, to all members who helped teach and learn from them, and to their families and friends for supporting them in this accomplishment. 

Best wishes,
Mike
