The test was nearly 5 hours long (due in part to 5 other students going up with Liv and another going for her 2nd degree black belt).
The test included warm ups, forms, weapons, choreography, board breaking, brick breaking (note the concerned look on Joie's face above when Liv attempted to break a brick), sparring, push ups, sit ups, etc.
The students also had to write a black belt thesis paper. Heather got to read Liv's to the folks in the room. If you would like to read it, I included it at the bottom of this post.
Finally, after all that hard work (that day and the previous eight years), the reward came!

Congratulations, Livvi (Miss Shaut)! We are so proud of you!
