It is with great pleasure I announce that after years of hard training, and hours of testing, my friend and personal student, Dr. Kevin P Schatzle has attained the rank of 1st degree Black Belt "Shodan."  He showed over 55+ Techniques, 9 katas, a Weapons kata, every kick and punch in our system, broke 4 boards with varied techniques and 6 rounds of sparring and grappling.  I thank my Instructors who volunteered their time on a Sunday, as well as the students who stayed and helped/watched in awe.  I am especially proud to have my 3rd ever private student receive their black belt, and the first adult in our new school. Special thanks to Barbara Scott who sent me the videos to the right -->
