Dante Field promoted to yellow belt - here with Sifu and Sensei Brian Field, who had this to say: "I took my son Dante Field into the studio today to have him tested by Sifu for his CHKA yellow belt. It was quite an event since I've been passing down the 'old school' traditions to him - all the techniques, kicks, punches, forms and - of course - dino drills, and since he was now good enough, wanted Sifu to be able to see the product of (everyone's) work. He did well, taking the nearly 90 minute test all by himself, and was sweaty and proud at the end. "

A big welcome back to Justin Blancas who returns to the States after a long tour in Afghanistan!

Congratulations go out to Eric Sonntag and his wife who are expecting a baby in January!
