We had an awesome Saturday on the mat at JMAFC Hapkido! 15 young Hapkidoin from three different kids program classes, ranging in age from 5 to 13, earned a rank upgrade!  They demonstrated their required skill sets for their age groups by going three rounds in the spirit circle in front of 7 Black Belts on the grading review board. After their third round, each one successfully completed their Kyukpha (Breaking) requirement! Green through Brown belts completed their third round as well as their board breaks, blindfolded, as they demonstrated their knowledge of Hapki concepts and principles.

A special thank you to Pierce, Audrey and Nora who participated in the spirit circle for their classmates and Black Belt Candidate Holly, who spent her Saturday coaching and helping her Hapkido family members complete the grading successfully.

Well done everyone!

Hapki!!
