Today we celebrate one of our long time students, Kim Leonard.  She came here with minimal martial arts experience and knowledge.  As Calasanz says, she was like a little frog.  Through her time here she progressed rapidly and very far in her martial arts career.  In training she learned several katas (forms) and improved her body beyond what any gym might have done for her through Physical Art.

 The time spent together with her was fruitful, meaningful, and very productive.  In a few short months she progressed through to a green belt, as seen in this video.  We show you only short segments of her 30 minute test which was truly a challenge and would be a trying half hour for even top athletes.

Notice her during the kata, stomping and grunting.  This is a major expenditure of energy and she powered through the katas emphatically and energetically the whole way.  WOW!

She got through it seemingly with ease and was still ready to train after the entire ordeal.  Thanks again Kim for your time spent here, you will never be forgotten!
