Jackson's Black Belt Test

While we are frequently reminded that testing is just another form of training--testing for black belt is training of a very high order. As such, our well wishes are with our classmate Jackson who will be testing for his shodan (first degree black belt) this weekend in Houston. He will be testing before Manabu Murakami, Sensei – Director of SKIF International Affairs.
