On behalf of the Woo Kim Surrey Taekwondo School, I would like to congratulate both Mike Gilliard and Etienne LaPierre on successfully completing their first-degree black belt promotion tests. Your years of dedication and devotion to the art have finally paid off. You are now Yu Dan Ja. Now the real training begins. I hope to see you both excel and reach even greater levels of Taekwondo in the future. Congratulations once again.

Master Thornton
