Shuseki Shihan Frank Woon-A-Tai made a visit to the Maritimes to conduct a special clinic and grading.

With approximately, 100 students testing it was a long day. Congratulations to everyone that was promoted to their next belt.

This was a much different grading than usual, especially on Friday night where Sensei Norm Robitza was tested for his B Level Examiner license.

Congratulations to all the new Black Belts, they will be added to the Maritime IKD Black Belt Club soon. Special congratulations to Shihan Janice Pyke who was promoted to the rank of 8th Dan. As usual, she worked very hard to make this weekend a success. She had to focus on her rank promotion also organized the entire weekend. Thank you Shihan for all the hard work.
