Last weekend, our Club held a rank-test of students for new belts. On December 17th, the students who practiced Applied Aikido in Poznyaki successfully passed their exam. And already on December 18, an exam for new degrees in Aikido took place in Borshchagivka.

We would like to note the high level of training and the incredible diligence of our students, who, despite all the problems caused by the missile strikes of the terrorist country, continue their education and work fruitfully at every training session. The high level of preparation of students was separately noted by the commission that took the exam.

We also thank parents who, despite the circumstances, understand the importance of sports education for children and, for their part, also support their desire for self-improvement. This festival would not have been possible without you. Therefore, we are very grateful for your trust and support.

We sincerely thank the commission, which was able to visit both stages of rank-test, for objectivity, openness and humanity. Our pupils, despite the fact that they were worried and nervous, nevertheless showed a decent level of work, which allowed them to get new belts.

Separately, we express our deep gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the fact that we can do what we love and support children in these difficult times. It is thanks to you that all this is possible. By the way, Saturday certification, due to the location of the hall, took place even despite the air raid alert.

Also, our boundless gratitude to all utilities that work around the clock to provide the Ukrainians in general, and the people of Kyiv in particular, with all the necessary utilities. It was thanks to their hard work that both certifications passed with stationary lighting. But let’s add that training takes place during stabilization and emergency shutdowns.

Thank you all and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are sure that it will bring us many victories, including sports ones. So we continue to work and step to new sporting heights together.

Sincerely,
The coaching staff of the Club of Applied Aikido “Lazar”
