Raise in Rank!

Please join us in welcoming Gary Forbach to Senior Student status.  Gary has worked with great focus and discipline for 2 years and 8 months.  He has taken three classes a week for most of his time training and completed the Wudangshan 108 form in style!  Generally learning the form takes a bit longer but with the extra class time and practice outside of class, Gary soared to the top fast!

He tested at TKFMMA school in Durham, NC on Monday, August 16, 2016.  He awarded his red sash with his Thursday morning class looking on proudly.

Gary also has passed the first test of being a senior student - that is proving your teacher right!  During his test, he proved the transition postures are the hardest thing about the form.  Repeating postures in different context will trip anyone as LaoMa has repeatedly warned!
