A big congratulations to our new black belts!  Although the ceremony was snowed out last week, our students were able to test on Thursday night in class.  Our black belt have worked hard for many years to achieve this success. Through their training, we believe that they hold our mission as some of the goals they have reached as they have strengthened their body and mind, learned practical self defense, and  build their character over the years they have been with us. The testing students looked strong and confident which is ultimately the goal once they reach this level.  As these students have now reach their black belt, they will continue to train and work hard not just to become a better martial arts athlete, but to continue to embody the mission of the Asian Arts Center.
