Newport
George Dube, 12, of Goshen, N.H., advanced to first-degree junior back belt, while Evan Miller, 13, of Bradford, N.H., made second-degree level. Internationl standards don’t allow martial artists to reach full black belt standing until they turn 16, but junior-level recognition enables underage participants to continue to their progression.
Two more Rising Sun athletes, John Cunningham, of New London, and Griffin LaBrie, of Claremont, moved to full black belt having reached age 16. Transitioning from fifth-degree junior to third-degree adult black belts, both have completed their teaching apprenticeships and are working through the process of becoming assistant instructors.
Jennifer Boyd, of Newport, was also promoted on Saturday, reaching second-degree black belt. Boyd first begain martial arts in 2001 and took time off for college and the beginning of a medical career before resuming her training. As a result of her teaching work, Rising Sun awarded her the title of assistant instructor at Saturday’s ceremony.
