Yolanda will be testing for her black sash. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and as such, all of Yolanda’s classmates should attend the event to support her.

Attendance is required for black sashes. It is very strongly encouraged for all other students.

We will have several guests of honor on Cassie’s Black Sash Test Panel, including:

• Shifu Karim-Ben Saunders

• Sijo Michael DiMaggio

• Sifu Stephen Mulloy

We thank these talented instructors for presiding over the event, and for their support of Yolanda’s development as a martial artist over the years.
