Black Belt Test this Sunday

 

We have three students who will test for Black Belt this Sunday, August 10th, at 2:00. The students are Jason Arkin, Chad Hellem and Milan Joshi. The test will take place at the Imperatori Martial Arts Studio. Your family is invited to attend.

A Black Belt Test is a very exciting and inspirational event, so if you have the opportunity to attend it will be very meaningful and instructive for the future Black Belt(s) in your family. These three students are all recent high school graduates who will be staring their freshman year in college in a few weeks.  All three began training at Imperatori Martial Arts in our 3-6 year old Mites program. They welcome your support this Sunday!

The test should last about 2.5 hours, and you are allowed to arrive late or leave early.

I hope to see you there!  

Sincerely,

Joey Imperatori
