The Black Belt Certification Committee of Arashi-Do Martial Arts held their 18th Black Belt test on November 16, 2003.

The following day Arashi-Do Martial Arts presented it's third Black Belt Extravaganza
and Awards Night. An evening devoted to showcasing the recent
graduates to Black Belt both Junior and adult. The evening went
well, with the Canadian Ging Wu Kung Fu Organization coming
down from Edmonton to put on a traditional Lion Dance opening
the show. There were 13 Black Belt candidates at this presentation
and many other members of Storm Teams, Tiger teams and demo
Teams sharing the spotlight on stage.

One parent was quoted as saying, "...the extravaganza was
truly enspiring, not just for the kids but also for the adults,
well done to all."
Thank you to everyone who came to share and support our
most recent Black Belts on their truely special day.

Congratulations to the Award winners from this past years circa
