Belt Challenge

Yesterday and today were very exciting days for our students at Redford Karate. It was testing day, and the mark of a new accomplishment.

Testing days are always proud days for the head instructor and owner of a martial arts school. Not only do these days commemorate a lot of hard work and training for the students, but it also means that the instructors have a feeling of accomplishment, too.

As a martial arts school owner, it is very fulfilling to see the students you have trained that are now assistant instructors, teaching newer students. Passing on the knowledge to other generations has always been one of the foundations of martial arts. It is an honor to see those that you have trained, standing tall and now training others.

Our style of martial arts, Tang Soo Do, has come a long way from ancient eastern Asia, and modern South Korea. We are very proud to be members of the International Tang Soo Do Federation. No matter what country we may train in, our ITF rank will be accepted at any ITF school.

With the legendary leadership of Grand Master C. S. Kim, Dan #915, Redford Karate students are learning the most traditional Korean martial art there is, from the world's most revered living martial artist.

Our students are some of the best martial artists in the United States. This past May, our students traveled to Pittsburgh, PA to compete in the National All Martial Arts Championship. Many trophies and medals were brought home to Michigan from this famous tournament.

On this weekend of testing, Redford Karate would like to congratulate all of our students that tested for their next belt rank. You are all awesome martial artists!
