Black belt class

The next black belt class will be Monday November 24, 2025 7:30 - 8:45pm, Annandale, VA. Brown belts are invited and encouraged to participate. For attendance tracking, students that plan on coming to this class are welcome to practice in earlier classes but not required to do so.

Tonight’s class is short notice and is offered because Megan is in town and I’d like to offer a deep dive into some techniques for her and invite others to observe and participate. For those that cannot make this time, I understand and thank you for your consideration, and will see you either during the regular class time, or next time.
