Mr. and Mrs. Jouan Have Goals Too

In addition to making ATA West Chester a successful school, Mr. and Mrs. Jouan have been training in martial arts for many, many years and this June look forward to taking the next step on their journey.

Mrs. Jouan will be eligible in June to test for her 5th degree black belt. She recently has completed all of her midterm testings and continues to seek knowledge wherever and whenever she can. In addition to taking courses and seminars at ATA World, National, and Regional events, Mrs. Jouan is training with top ATA Masters, including her instructor, Master Doug Stewart.

Mr. Jouan will be eligible to test for his 6th degree black belt in June. This is a journey that is almost 25 years in the making. Mr. Jouan completed his last midterm testing and has been receiving top scores. He has enjoyed training more with the new black belts at ATA West Chester. Seeing them push to be the best has inspired him to train harder right alongside them.

Both of them have received permission and will be testing on Friday, June 24th, 2011 at ATA International High Rank Testing in Little Rock, Arkansas. More information about World Championships may be found here:

Start making plans now to be at testing and competition, as well as the historic Inaugural Ceremony on Saturday night featuring Team Competition, Masters Ceremony, and the new Grand Master's Inauguration.
