We no longer have a beginner.

In ShotoKan karate, there is an unofficial line that separates the beginner from the experienced student.Though unofficial, most agree that this line lies between orange belt and green belt. Once a student earns their green belt they are expected to know and be able to preform the basics of ShotoKan. As of seven thirty this evening, when it was announced that Robby passed his test by a full rank, Robby is a green belt and we couldn't be prouder.It has taken a lot of work but Robby is going into the merge with the new school as a non beginner. Keep up the good work Robby !

Update
For those who were wondering, I did not attend the testing. It had stopped raining but was soggy out. Mike did video tape the test, as he always does, but I haven't seen it yet. I guess that it really doesn't matter as Robby called me as soon as class dismissed and let me in on the news. I do not have a picture of the test to post as Mike took no still pictures:-( He did say that he would video capture a couple "stills" for me but as busy as he is it may be awhile.Do not fret though, I will take a picture of Robby when he receives the belt to post.
