Sensei Tom Scott promoted to Shihan


On December 1, 2006, Sensei Tom Scott, Chief Instructor of Nick Cerio's Kenpo of Omaha, was tested and promoted to the rank of Godan and title of Shihan.  The test was overseen and conducted by Shihan John James at his dojo in Littleton, Massachusetts and witnessed by Nick Cerio's Kenpo Executive Board Member, Sensei Maryann Weeden.  A Plaque was bestowed upon Shihan Scott by Master Bill Chun, Jr., at the Professor William K.S. 'Thunderbolt' Chow Memorial held in San Francisco, recognizing Shihan Scott's new rank/title and accomplishments.  Shihan Scott has been an outstanding example of Professor Cerio's five Principles of Conduct:  Effort, Etiquette, Sincerity, Character, and Self-Control.  Congratulations on all that you have accomplished and for your contributions to the continuation of Nick Cerio's Kenpo.
