After 23 years of practicing and teaching karate with USA Karate in the Minneapolis area, I am eligible for promotion to Fifth Degree Black Belt. Fifth Degree is a master instructor level promotion and requires the support of those in the community. It represents a long-term commitment to the martial arts and requires that the candidate aided others in learning and progressing in the art and sport. Please help me get as many signatures as possible by December 15, 2014.
