Spring is coming in like a Dragon...

It's been a busy time at the club, and jumping right into things, here's the update from Gatineau: Cameron brought home firsts in continuous sparring and forms, second in weapons and fifth in sparring.

This past Sunday was a busy day both at the club and on the road. A group of the Scarlet Dragons went to a tournament in Georgetown and brought home some nice hardware. Others were saving their strength for an afternoon of grading...

First the tournament. Thanks to Rampulla's Martial Arts for a great event! Our five Dragons who competed brought home 2 firsts, 7 seconds, 4 thirds, and 4 fourths. Good work team!

Meanwhile, at the club, a group of students were psyching themselves up for their High Belt grading! A grueling 4 hours for our newest orange and green stripes, and 6+ hours for everyone else. Everyone was put to the test early. Pushups, bicycles, kicks, blocks, punches, and more pushups. Something else was evident early on: Sehang John was going to be pushed to the limits required to obtain Sifu status.

In the end they all rose to the challenge and went home with new belts and sashes and sore muscles. Congratulations to all, especially our newest Sifu, Sifu John!
