Gup Shim Sa #31

There's more new COLOR in the school! We are pleased to announce the promotion of 31 Tang Soo Do students in Gup Shim Sa #31! We extend special recognition to a few stand-out students. The first is to a pair of sisters that seem to have really dedicated themselves to training in a very short period of time who have been rewarded early with their orange belts. Congratulations Jennifer and Mailyn! The second high five goes to Derrick Burton Jr. who successfully completed his 5th Gup Green Belt test as the sole green belt in the afternoon test. Unable to make the last test with his classmates he showed patience and discipline combined with a lot of improvement to earn his new rank. Way to go Derrick! Thank you to to Nan and Fran Paturzo for the awesome cupcakes to celebrate after the afternoon test. More photos are available on our phanfare site. Check out the video of students board breaking on our youtube channel.
