Black Belt Promotion
Someone participating in a black belt promotion at DoshiKai faces a difficult test.
The participant needs to demonstrate strong skills in Kihon (basics), Kata, Bo techniques as well as Jiu Kumite (free sparring), showing strong spirit during multiple consecutive matches.
These videos are actual footage from the promotion on December 13. They show the results of a lot of hard work and dedication. Not every move is perfect, but the effort to improve is!
