STUDENT OF THE YEAR -- END OF THE YEAR TRAINING. Congratulations to BOBBY VINCENT, NIKI's newest black belt, on being named the 2007 Student of the Year at the New Iberia Karate Institute. Bobby is a dedicated black belt who has trained very hard to become proficient at Karate and who continues to set a good example for the rest of the dojo. Saturday, December 29, 2007 was the end of the year training. Here is a picture of the group with Bobby after the class. The spirit was very good and the training was consistent. This constitutes a perfect finish to the year and a perfect beginning for 2008. Train Hard everyone and lets all set our goals high for this year. OSU, Sensei Scott.
