Subject: [USRKUSA - Deshi]  Green Tip Test at Viera Rec Center in Florida.

Greetings from Sensei Kaplan (in State College,PA), who is sending this e-mail on behalf on Hanshi who is here celebrating his 70^th Birthday with a large contingent of karateka and deshi from our Northeast dojo locations.

 

Here are some photos from the Green Tip Test conducted on October 25, 2008 at the Viera RecCenter in Florida. Congratulations to all who stepped forward and entered into the arena to test for Ro-kyu and Go-kyu, as well as those who showed up to lend their support (see group photo, attached).

 

A special thanks to Sensei Ron Marchetti and Sempai Pat Marchetti who co-conducted the test with Hanshi.

 

Domo Arigato Gozaimasu,

Matt Kaplan
