As many of you know, I am learning Shotokan karate. We now have an update to our website- particularly of the most recent tests for promotion, so I can show off some pictures.

The students who tested:



The school is actually much larger, but our teacher won't allow us to test unless he thinks we're ready- and it takes a lot to prove to him that you're ready!

This not so little guy did not!
