We had to demonstrate katas in a group, our own favorite (select one out of eight White Belt katas) -- I selected Mawashe Uke Kata -- demonstrate self-defence techniques, participate in sparring sessions, as well as break a board with our fist or foot to get our promotions... I am thrilled to say that Ombra and I were honored to move from White Belts directly to Green Belts (by-passing the single, then double green stripes on our White Belt)!  It was an awesome day!
