The word of the day for Saturday, May 11th at JMAFC HapKiDo was Courage! 13 very dedicated HapKIDo kids and teens ranging in age from 5 to 14, earned a rank upgrade today. They all recently earned their fourth stripe and came in today to face their fears in the spirit circle. Each one demonstrated their required skill sets for their age groups. Each student went three rounds in the spirit circle in front of six Black Belts on today’s review board. All the students above the rank of green belt completed their third round blindfolded, including their Kyukpha (Breaking) requirement. They were all outstanding!

A very special thank you to our JMAFC Black Belt staff who participated in today’s grading.

Well done everyone!
Hapki!
