Weapons Testing

Saturday September 13, 2025

Easton Do Jang

Testing went very well and ran smoothly.

Invariably, we discovered a number of skills that need to be worked on, practiced more and taught better…but that’s ok because we know that it is always about the journey, not the destination.

We are very proud of our students and their dedication.

Tang Soo!!!
