Twenty-eight students of the Kiai Club, age 7 being the youngest and 62 the oldest including 15 students from the Bequia Branch took the exams and gained 100% success. The greatest achievement was awarded to the Bequia Branch where six (6) students with their outstanding performance skipped the yellow belt (first grade) advancing from white belt (ungraded) to orange belt.

Sensei Gibson and his students were overwhelmed and overjoyed. The hard work they put in the training paid off, giving them a feeling of satisfaction and motivation to go forward hoping for a brighter future.
