Black Belt Promotion

by Kyoshi Gail on April 2, 2012

For several months, a group of students from Cayuga Lake Seido have been working hard to prepare for their black belt test at Honbu.  The month of March was a busy one, as each had the opportunity to travel to New York City several times to complete portions of their exam.  Through it all, they carried the enthusiasm and energy of the whole dojo, and showed true bushido (non-quitting) spirit in the face of every challenge.  Congratulations to everyone!
