We now have two fight night champions.

Norma Almanza two years in a row. And now Jared.

Congrats, Jared.

RANK CAMP
Rank camp, held April 12th and 13th of this year produced two new black belts. Jeremy Bidwell of Nacogdoches, and Dan Lowry of Rockwall. Dan is the student of Shihan Paul Britt out of Rockwall. Paul was one of the original Shen Chuan students.

It was a good test. We're proud of them. Congratulations

Also at the camp, Professor Lansdale surprised Shihans Coy and Eugene with last minute announcements.

Out of respect for being Professor Lansdale's senior student, as well as for his known abilities as a martial artist, Shihan Eugene was given the honorary title of Professor. Congratulations Professor Frizzell!

Shihan Coy, long known to be the Soke Dai (inheritor) of the Shen Chuan, Martial Science system was presented with all of the official documents and seals proclaiming his inheritance and making it all legal and binding. Although merely a formality to some, for those of us dedicated to the continuance of Shen Chuan, it signaled yet another important step in the evolution of Shen Chuan, Martial Science as a system dedicated to being around long term.
