Congratulations to Daniel Jensen, Olivia Robinson, and Wes Ruthloff in achieving their first degree Black Sash! Wes tested for his Black Sash in December 2014. Daniel and Olivia tested for their Black Sashes in January 2015.
Training to achieve a first degree Black Sash requires commitment and dedication as it can take 5 to 7 years and sometimes more, to learn the skills required. Students who achieve this goal show outstanding perseverance and good work ethic.
Today, August 22, 2013, we welcome our four newest Black Sashes:
After completing nine of their ten Tien Shan Pai forms, the candidates choreographed and performed martial arts defense skits, broke their boards, and gave a short speech.
As is our custom, dried and canned goods were collected as the price of admission. The food collected will be donated to a local food bank.
On Saturday, August 22, 2013, we will hold a Black Sash test for four students.
Please join us and support our candidates. The cost of admission is two canned or dried goods items (staples, no glass containers, please) which will be donated to a local food bank.
