Last Saturday, our Red and Black Belts did a fantastic job at their testing including our own Mr. Jon Runge successfully completing his midterm as a 5th Degree. Special thanks to guest judges Sr. Master Ramsey Cross and Mr. Keith Walworth for their help and mentorship as judges and friends. Also thanks to Master Dan Piller who stopped by during testing as well.
We hosted our first every Black Belt testing soap and candle ceremony. This new tradition will occur twice per year at the December and June Black Belt Testings. Plan now to either midterm or test for a rank in June.

Our Team Pride club at Fort Logan also did a great job at their promotions. We are currently looking at ways to help these kids through grants or additional fundraisers. Would love to help them get into uniforms.
P.S. Several students have contacted us about their credit cards being compromised recently through notifications from their bank. Please double check your accounts with ASF (our monthly billing partner) and be sure your accounts are current and you current credit card (if you use one) is working. Thank you.
P.S.S. END OF YEAR CHRISTMAS SALES AND SPECIALS ARE ABOUND IN OUR PRO SHOP. Pick up or order your needed equipment or get something fun for under the tree.
