"This exam did NOT disappoint !" exclaimed Sensei.  "Even the Senpais couldn't stop praising the dedication this group displayed in preparing for this exam.  Although technical issues could be improved, the spirit and effort was AWESOME!!!  I look forward to the day these Senpais are on the floor leading a class toward karate excellence!"

This was a great reminder to all:  As one's rank increases, our exams get much tougher, and so do our expectations and standards!!
