Onegai-shimasu,

We are thrilled to announce that the Ueshiro Northfield Shorin-Ryu Karate Club conducted its first testing today. Although our numbers are small, the spirit of our students is huge.

Congratulations to Susan Reynolds and Angel Dobrow who were promoted to Go-Kyu. A big arigato to those students and supporters who attended today's workout and testing to show their support.

Domo Arigato Gozaimasu to Hanshi, our sponsor Kyoshi Mackay, and all the members of Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu Karate. Attached is a photograph from the testing.
