Congratulations to all 22 students who tested on Friday, December 9th. This was the final test for 2011 and it was indeed a great way to mark the end of another remarkable year. We were so pleased to see at all the progress demonstrated by our students in both technique, forms, and their overall winning attitude.

We want to thank all the instructors, advanced belts and friends who served on the panel for this test; Edwin Riquelme, Jim Nagle, Chris Burton, Ric Meleschi, Laszlo Valenti, Michael Hermes, Jason Pratt and Mary Payne of PKC Karate. We are so grateful for the full support and friendship of all who helped with the test.

Our next test will be scheduled for mid to late February 2012.
