Sharing just a few of the belt promotions from the past few weeks to celebrate all of our students who continued to show up for training this summer! ☀️
Promoting to a new belt is an incredible achievement, not only for the student receiving the belt, but for the entire dojo and the student’s family and greater community who support and encourage them along the way
No one gets a black belt alone 🥋
There were many more promotions this summer – have photos? Send them to us!
