It is with great excitement that I am able to share with you that my instructor of 31 years, Grandmaster Connelly, will be present at our December 16th Black Belt Promotion Test. This test marks a particularly important moment for me in my training as my highest ranking student, Grace Sternberger, will be testing for her 4th Degree black belt. This is the official rank of Instructor and happens to be the rank Grandmaster Connelly was when I began training at 6 years old.
If you are able to attend the December 16th Black Belt Promotion Test, please do so. Not only will you get to support Grace and all of the other black belts who will be testing, but it is an incredible opportunity to meet an incredible man and martial artist in Grandmaster Connelly.
