Laurie Rothchild and David Andrews
4th Dan Black belt testing includes poomse (forms), sword poomse, free-style self defense against multiple attackers, no-contact sparring against multiple attackers, and board breaking.
Upon completion of this test and subsequently upon the receipt of their 4th Dan Certificates & belts, Ms. Rothchild and Mr. Andrews will be bestowed with the title of "Master".

Ms. Rothchild used a folding fan as a weapon against her attackers (her son & daughter).

Mr. Andrews used only bare hands (& feet) to defend against multiple attackers with sticks and guns.
