Just wanted to say that all of the students that went to black belt test did a fantastic job you should all be very proud of yourselves, it should show you that all of your hard work and perseverance paid off. Just remember black belt is not the end of the road but just the beginning, a beginning to new possibilities and new adventures. There is still lots of work to go but as you have all proven it is all worth it. I feel honored to train along side of you all and am glad that I can be a prat of your journey.

It's Just the Beginning

Yesterday was the senior red belt /black belt test. I felt nervous, excited, anxious, and ready all at the same time. When we got to Canandaigua everyone seemed to have about the same emotions that I did. Lots of people were there early and that was okay because I knew a lot of them from ADP and those I didn't know I got to meet. Once the test came around, we had to set up for the parents to come in. We had to line up and I ended up being the last person in line, but that did not matter. We waited as those going up for the black belt test requested their rank. And then the test began. First, the Tai Ji students were tested. And then it was my turn and the rest of the Junior red belts. At first I was nervous but I got over it real quick. We were asked to do forms, step sparring, sparring combinations, combat tactics, defensive tactics, and sparring tactics. And then it was time for breaking. I was up first in my group, but all the way over on the other side of the room so my mom and others could not see me. Everyone else went up and did their curriculum. Last, it was time for sparring. That was a lot of fun, because we got to spar several times. Master Kuek talked to all of us at the end and told us that this was just a beginning of the black belt journey. That is how I feel because I still have a lot to learn and my journey is just beginning. It was a great experience! Congratulations to all those who tested - everyone did a great job!

Way To Go Team!

Congratulations to all the testers...everyone did a great job! The journey continues...
