The title says it all. We went today to testing and she returns victorious. She is now a first degree black belt. She is on the left her friend on the right is a 3rd degree.

That is awsome Gill again, teaches them a lot of respect, something that a lot of kids lack these days. Good for her.

Quite an accomplishment...How old is she? I thought black belts would be much older.

Congratulations!
Our youngest daughter is also in martial arts. It has been great for her. What style/styles does she hold the belt in?

She is first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. She also holds a blue belt in weapons. She will be taught the art of Muay Tia as she progresses to her 2nd degree.This is a very aggressive form of the art.

Are they open tournaments or are they only TKD? Do you know the sanctioning body? There are several schools in Louisiana that teach her style and one I know of at Ft Rucker, Al.
There are a couple pics in this old thread... https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/forum/thread/327840/we-have-a-world-champion-in-the-house

I'm way impressed. Not too many kids impress me.... yours has.
Thanks, we feel truly blessed by both of our daughters. Of course they are like their daddy!

Awesome! Not trying to knock her acheivements, but I always wodered about how they rated kids as black belts. Does that mean that she should be able to take on a full grown adult who may only be a brown belt, or do they go strictly by technique when testing for the different belts?

Well of course weight and height give advantages but that is obvious. Yes they do skills test and its a process. I can tell you this though, I am 210 lbs and she is 80 lbs. If she catches me off guard she can take me off my feet. Also she is very proficient in weapons. Im glad she loves me.
