Tonite was very special for me as a teacher of the Martial Arts! I've been working with this young man for many years and watched him grow as a student as well as a father with a beautiful family! He works hard and is doing all the right things in his life! With that I awarded him the rank of Black Belt- 1st Degree in the American Karate system! I've awarded rank to many students over the years but Chris stayed the course with his training and is my first Black Belt! Black Belt is the real beginning of the journey and the rewards for perseverance are many as a person seeking self understanding through the discipline of Martial Arts training! Well done Chris! 👍
