Kung Fu Ranking ~ September 26th 2026

A huge congratulations to all the students who received their new sashes yesterday. Thank you as always to my teacher Shifu Gary for presiding over the ranking and guiding our school's growth. Thank you to my students for their hard work and their families for supporting their training. I especially want to shout out Laoshi JC and Shifu Gary's students who made the drive up from Oxford to attend the ranking, as well as all my students (including the black sashes) who attended the ranking to support their classmates even though they didn't receive new sashes themselves. It takes a village!

Finally a special congrats to Jo Gao Yolanda “Pi” Stafford who received her certified black sash. It is well-deserved as she so well embodies everything a student should to achieve as a black sash. I am proud to have you as a student ma'am!
