Today started off with our yearly Naginata Testing for ranking at the Ala Wai Paladium.  It's a great venue - wide, clean and air conditioned.
   We missed Janie and Lance.

Reviewing kata moves before the test. 

Candidates Carol and Arthur.  Sempais Tony and Kathy are helping with the bokken.

We are always treated to musubi from Manabus.  Here they are being passed out to be eaten later.  

The talented youngest members, Grant and Christy.  You can tell they're good by their poses.

Denise sempai helping Sharon with her number.

Amy, who along with Sharon, just started and is being tested on her basics.

Old timers Tony and Milton.
Tony and I are helping Carol and Arthur with the sword part of
katas 1 and 2. 

After the test, we all gather outside and have our musubi.  They taste so good after the tension and discipline of the test.

Border collie Penny-kinda sorta looks like our Penny-was her friend today at Pets in the City.

So good to see you too.
