Kung Fu Ranking ~ December 6th 2025

I'm so proud of all my students who received their new sashes December 6th!

Thank you to my Shifu Gary J Lachapelle Jr. for presiding over the ranking, as well as my junior Kung Fu brother Laoshi J.C. for coming up to Maynard to support my students and me.

Thank you to all the students who came to support their classmates even if they weren’t getting their own sashes, especially the black sashes who came to support their junior classmates: Jo Gao Grey, Jo Gao Kevin, Jo Gao Cassie, and Jo Gao Pi. You all set a wonderful example for your classmates to follow.

Also, a huge thank you as always to parents and guardians, spouses, and the families of all my students who make training possible for them. Even though you may not be in the classes yourself, without you, there is no school.
