A perfect exam to end the year!  Our last kyu exam for 2023 featured 6 mem-
bers of our general class who have been waiting for this opportunity to show-
case their skills to Sensei and the Senpais -- and they did NOT disappoint!!

"This year has been a great one for our HSK Ohana!"  exclaimed Sensei. 
"The determination, focus, effort, spirit, and attitude the students have displayed has
definitely gone up a notch from previous years.  I see our members getting
more serious in their training, with a noticable gain in their mental strength
and commitment to improve!"

Special thanks to Senpai Ciena Swafford for again volunteering to help with
the exam.  She was Jessica's partner in the kumite portion of the exam.
