Raised in Rank - Don Nonini

A belated congratulations to Don Nonini for a very successful Red Sash Test!

Supported by his partner, Sandy Smith-Nonini, Don finished the year 2023 by testing for his Red Sash, leading his classmates in the entire Wudangshan 108 Taijiquan form. This is a major accomplishment that Don has worked towards steadily for the last couple years.

Learning and performing the entire long form take patience, dedication and determination. And Don has sailed through with flying colors.

Congratulations to Don, who raises our rank when he raises his own. He is a great help to his fellow classmates and helps encourage us in our (poor!) pronunciation of the Chinese terms we attempt to use.

As we all know - NOW the true learning really begins!!
