Sicamous Karate belt test: youth and adults.

Just before Christmas, the students of the Provincial Martial Arts Association in Sicamous and Salmon Arm had their first belt testing. The belt tests were administered by 4th degree black belt and director of the PMA Karate, Todd Johnston from Calgary, AB. Students had to perform various blocks, kicks, and punches as well as katas, sparring, self-defence moves and board breaking to achieve their belt levels.
