Now is the time to prepare for the August promotion. Review of the techniques and kata are important. The candidates are encouraged to pick up their training by more attendance and more effort in each workout. This applies to everyone whether testing or not. Instructors are available to answer any questions and to motivate the deshi. Everyone is asked to familiarize themselves with the requirements for ALL levels. Now is the time to prepare for your next test, whether it is in August or some other time in the future. The rewards are received during every practice, every day. Arigato, Kyoshi Robert Scaglione.
