Where Mid-Terms Were Completed Satisfactorily and Rank Was Achieved

Everyone did a fantastic job on Wednesday evening! Forms were sharp, sparring was enthusiastic, and boards snapped with the sheer force applied by elbows, hands, and feet! Here's Cam during his first run-through of the form - you know, the one prior to "Yes Sir" asking, as always, to do the form again:

Check out that beautiful backstance!

I think Dave was feeling a little woozy when he took this picture - or, maybe he was just switching his bum position on those oh-so-comfy chairs:

Ry's lookin' a little intense, wouldn't you say? Another nice backstance - and weird, crazy toes! Holy cow, I could park my car in the space between his toes!

Camron made quite sure that his board would break this time. He picked two awesome holders :) and he gave an amazingly loud yell.

And here's where testing got interesting..... Kim and I were pretty much sitting in each other's laps to hold this board for Kyla. As expected, Paparazzi Dave was taking advantage of our rather risque positioning and snapped some pictures.

Here we have Ryan and Andy singing the ATA Anthem after receiving their rank stripes.
