Grandmaster Abad promoted Sifu Kelly to 5th Degree Master Instructor at the Lim Kenpo Karate Black Belt Testing. The promotion was a surprise to Sifu as he was prepared for the testing and was not expecting the honor bestowed upon him.The day was designed as a tribute to Grandmaster, with demos from many schools and several presentations to him. Grandmaster Abad has many accomplishments in martial arts throughout his life. He has touched many students through his decades of teaching and service. It was an honor to be a part of a special and touching tribute to him and hear many stories about his life and history.
Thank you to all the many schools that participated, especially all the Kaju AZ Ohana who came to support Sifu Kelly. It was awesome to see so many students take time out of their busy day to be with us! So many of our young students may not understand everything that happened, but one day they will hold these memories dear.Mahalo nui loa to Professor and Aunty Lim for making all of our training possible, especially this unique event. It's a pleasure to be associated with them and each and every member of their Ohana. As Professor says "In Ohana There is Strength" and all in attendance could feel the love and overwhelming Aloha.
