BLACK BELT PROMOTION

The Christian Martial Arts Center proudly announces the promotion of Kathy Cardwell to Second Degree Black Belt in Chung Do Kwon Taekwondo.  Ms. Cardwell is CEO/Director of Christian Martial Arts Ministries, a Tournament Judge for AAU Taekwondo competitions, and holds certification through the World Taekwondo Federation.  Pictured with her are Testing Judges (standing, left to right) Michael Bear, Gerald Nichols, and Michael Baker.

The test was conducted in two lengthy sessions which demanded physical and mental endurance.  Requirements included performance of eleven forms, numerous 1-step techniques, self-defense, take-downs, breaking of 3 boards simultaneously, sparring multiple opponents, and quoting of Bible Scriptures.

The Christian Martial Arts Center invites the public to attend the Black Belt testing of Joshua Stafford on February 20, 2010.  For details, call the Center at 828-835-4800.
