Kyu Level Exams
November 14th & 28th 2009 Kyu Level Exams
The November 14th 2009 Kyu Level exam was combined with the Semi-Annual Black Belt exam. Kyu level students that were examining for their next rank were on the floor with those who were examining for their next rank as a Black Belt. Although lower kyu level students were excused earlier than those examining for Brown and Black Belt ranks, their exam was no less rigorous and tough as they performed. Kyu level examinees included: Cory Martin (Brown Belt-1st Kyu), Cody Costa (Brown Belt-1st Kyu), Owen Gallagher (Advanced Green-2nd Kyu), Charles Clark (Advanced Green-2nd Kyu), and Destiny Navarro (Yellow Belt-5th Kyu).
