Samantha “Sammie” Reilly, a long-time SWJA student received her brown belt from Sensei Dave Faulkner during our Tuesday night class.  Sammie has been a multiple champion, including having earned gold at past National Junior Olympics and National Scholastic Championships. As Sensei’s, it is very rewarding to see our junior students continue in their training and achieve recognition by being award senior rank promotions for their years of training and competing.  Congratulations, Sammie!  We look forward to seeing you continue to practice and give back to judo by assisting with our junior judoka students.
