Promotion test

Stony Brook, December 14, 2002

Fall semester belt test took place in the Ball Room of the Student Union due to the anticipated final-examination setup in the Dance Studio. Master and Misha came from Boston for this day. Besides Dan there were two other black belts Rudy and Jeff who occasionally show up for our regular classes. Photographs provided by Peter Langfelder.

Basic techniques: Jon

and Dewits and Li.

Jury consisted of Master Theodat, Rudy, Jeff, Dan and Misha who was giving instructions at the moment and therefore not captured at this photo.

Later we went together for a dinner. Here, there are few photographs again from Peter Langfelder to picture the night.
