My Tests

In October 2018 I took my first belt test from white to green. This was a video I made but never shared publicly on my YouTube channel.

On April 30, 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, I took my second belt test, from green to purple. I was fortunate to live practically next door to my father-in-law and brother-in-law who I train with regularly, and are black belts. So I was able to take my test virtually.
