Student Spotlight: Dannylin Link, Grade 12
Dannylin is a senior at Wisconsin Virtual Learning this year and experienced a huge weekend of excitement at the end of April. She was inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame as "Most Inspirational Black Belt Instructor/Competitor of the Year." She also taught a seminar on Saturday and the group she taught opened Sundays tournament with the musical form she taught to the song, Hall of Fame. She coached the Musical division which was hugely successful and exciting! But her biggest honor was to sit as a judge in the Black Belt Ring where she gave scores to Masters, Grand Masters and other extremely accomplished Black Belt martial artists.
Congrats Dannylin!
Dannylin has created a video of her weekend for us all to view. Enjoy!
