This past weekend, Plumer Karate America held it’s Spring Black Belt Graduation Ceremony held at the Lodi Performing Arts Center. Willem and Lillian participated in the opening with Team Eclipse, along with being “bad guys” during the self defense portion (video coming soon). Pictures were very dark and very few, but I wanted to show at least this video of Willem being presented the Senior Instructor for the Portage location. With this responsibility, he now helping with curriculum decisions and sitting on panels for review of students graduating to black belts. His parents (and especially his sister) are incredibly proud of him.

Black belts on the stage include: Mr Jon Plumer (sensei) + Mrs Chris Plumer (really in charge) + Mrs Lindsey Ghiloni (Poynette) + Mrs Katie Greer (Poynette) + Mrs Beth Schmidt (Portage) + Mrs Megan (Team Eclipse) + Ms Alexie Neumaier (Lodi Senior Instructor) + Mr Alan Brooks (Senior Instructor) + Mr Tommy Lund (Lodi Senior Instructor / Team Eclipse)
