Congratulations to Robert Roethlisberger for his promotion to First Degree Black Belt! It took over five years of hard work and dedication (and many more years training with other instructors) to achieve this well-deserved accomplishment. Mr. Davis and I couldn't have been prouder to hand you your Black Belt. Congratulations also to the other AKATO students who were promoted at the same test to Black Belt and advanced Black Belts.
