May is the month of graduation for many high schools and colleges. White Dragon Judo Club hosted its first promotion night of the month on May 2, 2016. The event featured the graduation of Byron Helmrich to the rank of Ikkyu. The legendary Randy Pierce presided over the examination. Helmrich executed a near flawless examination on his way to a unanimous decision for promotion. Byron is a role model of dedication and commitment. The New Jersey native worked hard the past couple of years and it paid off. Byron competed in kata and placed third in his division at the 2016 USA Judo Senior National Championships. The sky is the limit for this young man with unlimited potential.
