Hanshi Larry F. Giordano Visits the CCHS Karate Club

Osu!

It was my honor tonight to have Hanshi Larry F. Giordano of the Methuen Karate Association as a special guest instructor. We at the CCHS Karate Club are so lucky to have such a decorated karate master share his knowledge with us. Hanshi Giordano is currently one of the highest ranking black belts (9th Degree black belt) in the world and has been actively involved in karate throughout the Merrimack Valley for over 40 years! I am so thankful that Hanshi has given me his support in starting the CCHS Karate Club. I only hope that one day I can accomplish even half of the success that he has had.





We were also very lucky to have Sensei John Goddard of the Methuen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club and MKA teach us a new series of ground fighting techniques. Sensei Goddard has been so selfless with his time and we at the CCHS Karate Club thank him for all of his help! We can't wait to see him again in April.

Osu!

Blue Belt Promotions

Osu!

The CCHS Karate Club is proud to announce the successful promotion of Dan Blackwell, Shannon Bradish, Amy Whitney Perry, and Brendan Stolarz to Hachi Kyu in the Kyokushin Karate system. These four students are the first to achieve new rank at the CCHS Karate Club. I'm looking forward to more of my students achieving higher rank. I'm sure this will happen soon enough given the intensity of each of my students during class. I'm very pleased with the dedication and hard work that all of my students have shown over the past four months.
Osu!
