A dozen Stevens Taekwondo Academy students tested
successfully for new belt ranks at the Stevens Point YMCA recently.
The All Purpose Room was full of energy and pride as
students of all levels and ages demonstrated blocks, kicks, forms and
sparring. Every student broke a board,
showing both skill and determination.
Akiva Lyon was awarded the trophy for testing excellence as
he earned his yellow belt. Lyon, ten
years old, snapped a full-sized board with a switching axe kick on his first
attempt.
The testing was judged by master instructors Mark and Hilde
Henkel. Master Kim Buehler directed the testing with assistance from black
belts Ben Hultman and Malek Alkasrawi.
Winter Session II begins February 23 at 7 pm. There are no classes March 17 & 19 due to spring break. The next testing is Saturday, April 4 at 10 am.
