Mike Kermoade, meanwhile, is a fifth-degree black belt with Chieftain status. Seventh-degree black belt Colette Stricklet has Premier status.
In addition, the Blair branch's Jeremiah Cothran is a high brown belt. Jordyn Johnson, Brody Johnson and Wyatt Evasic are purple belts, and Johan Najera is a high blue belt.
The RWTB branch on Washington Street hosted its holiday party Dec. 16 and, after a holiday break, returns to instruction Jan. 4.
