This week, the CTA Colorado family is coming together to finalize testing requirements for our dedicated youth students while also celebrating the incredible achievements of our adult practitioners. As we refine the path for our young martial artists, ensuring they meet the highest standards in their journey, we also take time to honor the hard work and perseverance of those earning their blue and purple belts. These milestones reflect countless hours of training, discipline, and commitment—qualities that define our community.
We are beyond grateful to witness our teammates’ growth and success, and we can’t wait to celebrate together this Friday, January 31. Youth testing will begin at 5:00 PM, followed by a well-deserved promotion ceremony at 6:00 PM. Whether you’re testing, receiving a new rank, or simply cheering on your fellow teammates, your presence makes this event even more special. Let’s come together to support, uplift, and honor the dedication that makes CTA Colorado such a strong and inspiring team. See you on the mats!
