Family & friends gathered to watch Leslie
Owens test for her black belt. |
Judges Nancy Parker and Argo Silvestri (back
row) wait for the test to begin. Visiting black belts Keith Hollar
and Mr. Sheffield will help judges discern how prepared Leslie is,
since she has not sparred with them before. |
Leslie puts out candles not by touching them, but rather with punches
and kicks quick enough to extinguish the flames. |
Leslie breaks ice with a sharp yup-chagi
(side kick). |
Other students in the class help clean up
the shattered bits of ice. |

Leslie removes her red belt for her newly-earned
black one. Congratulations Leslie! |
