Congratulations to Matt Pinard for his successful promotion to Yondan. After nearly a decade of training, Sensei Pinard has achieved the highest black belt level in our art. In attendance at his test on Friday were both his son CJ and his father both of whom were very proud to witness the intense and rigorous testing process. In addition, many students stayed after class to watch and support Sensei Pinard. Be sure to congratulate Sensei Pinard when you see him.
