I have decided to add all the names (and dates of promotions) of ALL Black Belts of the Koryo Karate School.  Black Belts will be listed by date of promotion in each category (Chodan, Yidan, etc).  The number assigned to each promotion is their number within that rank.  So the 1^st Black Belt ever promoted is listed as “Chodan # 1”.  Unfortunately, I don’t have photos of the earliest promotions (I’m still looking).  However, photos of the more recent promotions can be found on my Facebook Page.
