NEXT LEVEL FOR 16
MARTIAL ARTISTS
RMA Karate Centres recently
hosted a formal belt ceremony in honour
of 16 students who were being presented
their new rank after
undergoing an intense testing last month.
The testing which took place
in July was an intense evaluation of the
students’ knowledge of karate forms,
sparring,
self-defence, physical
fitness and historical knowledge of the
martial arts.
Head instructor Sensei Craig
Ridout along with fellow instructors
Sensei Linda Young and Sensei Tressa
Young
presented the students
ranging in age from 3 years to adult with
their new belts on Friday August 6th.
Little Dragon students (age 3
to 5 yrs) presented with the new rank of
white belt with yellow stripe were
William B,
Rory O,
Eric M and Zachary S.
Carter N received his white belt with
orange stripe and Will K received his
half
white and half yellow belt.
Junior students (age 6-12yrs)
presented with their new belt ranks were
Noah D receiving his half white and half
yellow belt, Sale B
receiving her yellow belt, Katie B
receiving her yellow belt, Jenna B,
Julian Ol receiving his red
belt and Audrey-Lynn O receiving
her red belt.
Youth/Adult students (age 13
yrs & up) presented with their new
rank were Emily K to yellow belt, Alex H
to
yellow belt, Tara R to
green belt and Jonathan B to purple belt.
The belt ceremony included
all of the graduating students
demonstrating their skills on stage with
the three RMA
instructors demonstrating
unrehearsed self-defense.
“Beyond the obvious
self-defense, physical fitness, and
self-confidence, the martial arts
lifestyle helps develop a
person’s moral values
and ethics,” stated instructor Linda
Young.
“The ceremony was a
great success. Parents,
grandparents, family and friends were
impressed with the students
demonstrations including
that of the RMA demonstration team.
The audience was excited to be part of
this special
moment and the students were
thrilled to receive their next level in
the martial arts. Not only are they
learning life-
saving skills but they are
enjoying their class and the results of
their hard work, “ head instructor
Ridout stated.
