Put to the test

Kids tests are usually only held 3 times per year,  Spring, Summer and Winter. But due to not being able to test both Spring and Summer, we decided to hold  special Fall tests to boost the kids motivation.

With their last test being December of 2019, the kids really worked hard for this one. 

Almost a full year without any tests, seminars, joint training camps or demonstrations. You could easily see that they were more nervous than during previous gradings. 

With no competition in aikido, these are the kind of things that challenge and push us. Stepping outside the comfort zone of regular training in your little friendly circle. 

They put in the effort, faced the pressure and did an amazing job!

Congratulations to all who passed! 

Results are up in the Meiryukan "members only" section.
