The Association’s Spring promotional was held on Sunday May 15th, 2011 at the Okinawan Karate Club, Stoughton. There were seven candidates testing for rank from shodan to to yondan. Great spirit was shone by all of the participants. The board members noted the improvement of all candidates since the pre-test and were very pleased with the level of achievement. All students passed and were awarded their new rank.
After a spirited and well attended Thursday night black belt class Sensei Gary Goodman was presented with a 6th Dan Renshi certificate from the Okikukai.
From left to right: Jack Dowd, Jack Summers, Russ Centamore, Gary Goodman and Bill Giovannucci. We all wish Gary a hearty congratulations!
