On March 10th and 11th, Shihan Mady was in Thunder Bay for promotions and for seminars. The seminars on Saturday were a huge success with all who attended learning a tremendous amount.

As is the tradition when Shihan Mady visits, promotions were held the Friday night and setting a new record only took 4 hours to complete with 1 hour of deliberation. With a very very strong showing every individual testing clearly demonstrated they were not only of the skill required but well above it!

Promotions to Nidan (2nd Degree Black): Jesse Hill, Timo Tikka, Simeon Ostap and Rachel McGovern.
Promotion to Shodan: Kyle MacAskill
Promotions to Ikkyu (1st Brown): John Naimian, Hayley Tennier, Jordan Tennier, and Huyen Gilmore.

Congratulations to everyone who was promoted, you definitely earned it!
