Students and families are invited to celebrate with those testing for Junior and Adult Black Belt Ranks during a special Black Belt Weekend, September 16-18. This weekend will include a special Chi Gong workshop and the Black Belt Dinner, during which special awards will be presented to all of our new Black Belts! You are invited to come and celebrate with us even if you have not yet achieved Black Belt. The events below will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel and Executive Meeting Center in Palm Beach Gardens.

On Friday, September 16, Master Ken will be conducting a Chi Gong workshop on Friday, September 16th. For those participating in testing, this workshop is included with your testing fees. If you are not testing, you are welcome to join us! Just reserve your spot with Sensei Carolyn for $39. This workshop will run from 4-6pm.

On Saturday, September 17, we will be celebrating with our new Junior and Adult Black Belts at a special dinner in their honor.
