A large contingent of senseis and students were present between the youth and adult classes last Monday, as it was announced that Megan Moss had successfully completed her Shodan (first degree Black Belt) examination. We have all seen Megan and her uke Calvin Puritt working tirelessly in recent months preparing for the examination and it was great to see her efforts rewarded. Megan's black belt was presented by Sensei Brian, with a reminder to all judoka of the years of dedicated training required to achieve the rank of Shodan. Congratulations Sensei Megan! |
