Greetings and Congratulations Sensei Grossman,

I remember I believe it was Washington D.C , where you stood before us all

And pledged your commitment to open the doors of USRKUSA Dojo

And the first tip test is the conclusion of the first milestone of this lifelong journey.

And welcome Herra, Ragusa, Gallagher and Copelands deshi to Ueshiro Family Pine Tree.

99% Practice, 1% Therory!

Barnes Sensei.
