Karate Plus program promotes success

MIND, body, spirit. It’s the essence of karate and the three steps
to success according to Sensei Jini MacDonald. We know Jim
from his Eagle Harbour Community Centre days, but now he is
on to bigger, better things with his new Karate Plus for Life
program at Glencagles school. On TI hursday, approximately 40
students participated in the new program's first ever promotion
ceremony, It was an impressive evening of demonstrations,
“Kata” (karate exercise forms) and weapon handiing. It ended
with promoted students receiving their new belts as fricnds and
family proudly looked on. Congratulations everyone.
