Black Belt Testing

February 18, 2011 marked the very first ever class of 1st Degree Decided Black Belts at ATA West Chester. Special guest, 6th Degree Black Belt, Master Doug Stewart came to oversee the event. It was a stressful evening but everyone performed well under pressure. Students testing for their black belts performed their forms, sparring, and board breaking. We even had our first ever 2nd Degree Black Belt midterm testings by Mrs. Gladson and Ms. Curry. Directly after testing, students were presented with their new ranks in the first ever black belt candle light ceremony (pictured left). A great job was done by all. We look forward now as you begin to plant seeds for the future and work hard on your journey towards second degree and beyond.
