Three local students from Suishin-Ryu Florida recently traveled to Santa Ana, California, to test for Batto-Do (sword) ranks and participate in the annual seminars and Batto-Do tournament.
Mike and Sue Riddle tested for their Sho-Dan ranks, while Julian Sanchez tested for his Ni-Dan rank. All three will find out this November on the status of their passing. It was the first time attending for both Riddles, and the second time for Sanchez.
Mike Riddle took third in both individual “below black belt” kata and cutting, and Sue Riddle took second in both divisions as well. All three local students took second place in team cutting.
