Aikido Kyu Test & Promotion | Q1 – 2025
The Belt Behind the Smile
A morning of courage, connection, and quiet determination — the first Aikido belt test of 2025 at Yuko Shinzen Dojo.
The first belt test of 2025 at Yuko Shinzen Dojo marked more than just a milestone in technical progress — it celebrated perseverance, humility, and growth.
From the youngest children to adult practitioners, each participant stepped onto the tatami with quiet determination. Behind every bow, every movement, and every moment of stillness was a story of countless keiko, silent effort, and inner transformation.
These tests are never just about earning a new belt. They are moments of reflection — where smiles meet sweat, and where confidence is forged through discipline and sincerity.
