                                        I am extremely proud to announce the promotion of Annette Chawki-Bachara and Ethan Daniel to 1st Gup and to introduce our newest crop of red belts, promoting to 3rd Gup: Adam Gilliland, Abbie Douglas & Mekai Collins!  They all showed great concentration, ...
                                        ...endurance and courage during the 5 hour examination earlier today that included a chance to teach, a demonstration of their skills and of course, a demonstration of their technique and power with board breaking.  Each student displayed Moo Do spirit and a true indication of their character.  Annette continues to impress us all with her desire to rise to the challenges and want more.  Ethan's perseverance is an example to us all that hard work leads to great rewards.  Adam's attention to detail and thoughtfulness is something we hope all of our students aspire to attain.  Abbie continuously shows great courage beneath her quiet demeanor in a true show of peaceful confidence.  And Mekai shows the most athletic aptitude of any of our students, with the ability to mimic everything we throw at him.  In their own unique way, each will continue to develop into awesome role models and we really look forward to seeing them at a future Dan Shim Sa (Black Belt Test).

                                        Congratulations and Tang Soo!
