On behalf of The Aikido Academy of Self-Defense, LLC. and the Art of Nihon Goshin Aikido, I would like to congratulate Ron Ruszczyk for achieving the rank of Sho-Dan (First Degree Black-Belt).
Over the last couple of months, Ron completed a series of tests including, basic NGA techniques, street-applications, blocks and strikes, and free-style self-defense. Alongside the physical tests, our students complete verbal and written exams on Japanese Vocabulary, Nihon Goshin Aikido History and Philosophy, Basic First Aid, and Association Policy and Procedures. Students must submit four short essays on topics such as Honor and Loyalty. Lastly, Black-Belt candidates must show basic proficiency in teaching the art of Nihon Goshin Aikido as well as upholding high standards in their personal conduct.
Great job Ron!
Sensei Carter
