So this past Saturday (March 17th, 2012) was the BIG day at Koguma Dojo -- Promotion Class!  It was an exciting day for all of us in the school and our full day ended with a party for our Dojo brothers and sisters at our home to celebrate...  Within all of the things our Daisempai had planned for us (pictures to follow) was breaking boards!  I was the first to jump up for that one, Ombretta soon followed... Check out the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtaQeTt77Do   Oh, by the way, Sensei promoted both Ombretta and I to Green Belts, effectively skipping the first and second green stripes on the white belt, so it was an exciting promotion for both of us!  Our Black Belts are now in site... ;o)
