Friday night Ani tested for and received her black recommended belt.

Figuring out how to tie those double wrapped black belts always takes some time.

We had 16 black recommended belts by the end of testing Friday. Six were earned on Friday. Our school has somewhere between 20 and 25 people preparing for first degree testing now.

She is so excited to finally have a black belt. It’s taken countless hours of work to get there.

Next step for Ani and Cameron: Testing for their first degree black belts in December!
