Beyond Black Belt
Following in the footsteps of over 50 senior members before them, on June 5th eight black belt students from Thousand Waves traveled to New York City and underwent a grueling test for rank advancement with Seido’s founder Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura.
For some, black belt is a final goal, but we say it’s like graduating from high school – you’ve learned a lot, but there’s much more to learn. Jun Shihan Nancy says she is proud of having produced 121 black belts since our dojo’s inception in 1985, but even more proud of the fact that over 70 of them are still training, and in many cases teaching, at Thousand Waves today. Welcome back to the June nidan and sandan testing group!
