Lauren's Promotion to Black Belt

This past May, Lauren traveled to Las Vegas for the special seminar and yearly gathering of students and teachers in her Universal Kempo Karate tradition. She also tested for, and was promoted to, black belt. Robert went along to honor her accomplishment and to take photos, a few of which are shared here, with some brief commentary.
