On Sunday, November 23, 2025, we proudly hosted our final Black Belt Advancement of the year — an incredible milestone marked by skill, discipline, and heart. This round of testing welcomed 12 candidates in total, consisting of: 4 Red/Black Belts, 4 Black Belts, 4 First-Degree Black Belts.
Our testers ranged impressively in age — from 12 years old to 63 — showing that Kungfu is a lifelong journey open to all. Some students needed time to settle into the testing rhythm, while others stepped confidently into the spotlight from the very beginning.
Throughout the day, testers encouraged one another with loud voices, high spirits, and unwavering support. This advancement wasn’t about competition — it was about perseverance, progress, and personal breakthrough.
Earning a black belt is not the finish line, but the beginning of a new path.
We are proud of every student who stepped onto the mat, and we look forward to witnessing your continued growth in the years ahead.
Congratulations to all of our new Black Belts! Your journey has just begun — onward and upward!
