Black Belt Testing and Candle Lit Ceremony
We will be having a very important Black Belt testing this coming Friday, July 13th at at 6:00 pm. All ATA students and parents are invited to attend. We have many students who will be testing for their new rank and many others who will be midterming on their way to new ranks.
We will have a guest panel of judges that will include 8th degree black Chief Master Scott Stauffer.
The candle lit ceremony will immediately follow the Black Belt testing. The traditional candle lit ceremony is a unique experience that everyone can enjoy. It demonstrates the tradition and philosophy that has been an integral part of Songahm Taekwondo for over 40 years.
