On December 9th, Mr. MacKenzie
was promoted to the rank of 6th Degree Black Belt. The grading took place in
Trois-Rivières and
was conducted by Master Laquerre, 8th degree Black Belt and Technical
Director for the Canadian Taekwon-Do Federation International. After
training for the required 5 years and accounting for the 6 month reduction
in the time requirement from having attended two of the ITF International
Instructors courses, Mr. MacKenzie was tested on many aspects of Taekwon-Do.
In addition to completing a 20 page thesis, the 2 hour testing covered 23
patterns, fundamental exercises, breaking and a rigorous fitness test
including 250 each of push ups, sit ups and jumping jacks. Now Mr. MacKenzie
moves on to the new journey of preparing for 7th Degree, the first level of
Master which entails 6 years of training before qualifying for the right to
test.

Instructors page.
