First of all, Happy New Year! We need to report that we’ve got some great stuff going on at the American Black Belt Academy and are excited about how 2010 is shaping up. First of all, we've had a number of new students enroll and it is great to see full beginner's classes again. We awarded eight gold belts on the January belt test! While on the subject of tests, congratulations to those who advanced, and a special recognition to Jill Honea (gold) and Samantha Williams (purple) who received "Excellent" scores on their tests.

We'd like to thank Master Lynn and Mr. Shown who have made it possible to offer daytime classes again. We kicked off daytime classes this month on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for those folks who can't make an evening class or have the time to catch a quick workout during lunch. This is something we hope will really take off, so let's get the word out.
