Summer Camp Discounts, Black Belt Promotions and More!
Summer Camp Discounts
All Hanabi Judo members get 1/2 off of their monthly tuition if they enroll in a week of Hanabi’s Pokemon Summer Camp during any summer month this year. We have 11 weeks of camp in Albany starting on June 10 and going through August 23. We’d love to have you with us!
Black Belt Promotions
May 29 will be not just our belt promotion ceremony but our black belt promotion ceremony when we will watch the kata performance of our candidate who we expect to be promoted to “shodan,” first degree black belt. In May all students will be testing for their next higher shima or belt. Promotions for “shima” will be $35 while belt promotions will be $50.
