Saturday April 20, 2024 is a new milestone moment for me!!! The reasons why that is because I went through so much blood sweat and tears to get to this happy ending!! I cannot believe how I am officially a second degree black belt in the Chuck Norris system!!!!! Let me say that again, second degree in the Chuck Norris system!! It’s been 3 long hard years with dealing of all my sickness I had. From having a stroke to just being sick in general. So I have a list of ppl to say thank u to and I might get sappy so hold on! First up I want to say thank u to @taracox0605 & Mr Gallachger for letting me test!! They r my karate mom and dad and I’ve known both of them almost my whole life!! Secondly I want to give thanks to Logan @logan_funderburk for all of his work with me through days and even some late night trainings! Thank u sir for the one on ones with me they truly paid off. Thirdly I want to thank Mr sheats for being an head instructor and just helping me grow and learn of how to be a better martial artist student! Lastly thank u to Mr ajay pond (who doesn’t have Instagram but should) thank u sir for being such an amazing partner throughout my test!!! Also congratulations r in order for: Alexa, Mr kirck, Blake, Zoe willow & justin!! They all passed yesterday too. More videos and pictures to come! Ps. Shoutout to Jordan Cagel for taking all of my photos yesterday😂 📸 credits: @caglebagels #karate #karatelife #iamablackbelt #seconddegreeblackbelt #blackbelttestinf #ufafnation #legacymartialartshenderson #legacymartialarts #karateislife #ipassed #thankyou #nonbookish #bloodsweatandtears #hardworkpaysoffs #imnotcryingyourecrying

Friday March 22nd 2024 is a new memory and new special date for me! Want to know why? It’s because I have finally pretested for my second degree black belt and I passed!! Three long year of blood sweat and tears and a bunch of music helping me out!! A huge thank u to @logan_funderburk for taking his time out of his days and nights even for our one on one lessons and even letting me stay for Krav! Another huge thank u goes out to Mrs cox for letting me do this pretesting, she’s been my idol and mom and instructor since the first day I met her and have had a found family now because of karate! Lastly (although he doesn’t have socials) shout out to my partner for this pretesting and that is ajay pond! U r an amazing dude and partner and I can’t wait to do the actual testing with u in April!!! Also thank u to all my instructors who’ve helped me along the way too!! With all the sappiness out of the year I wanted to let u guys know I passed my black belt pretesting and now the actual test will be Saturday April 20th! Let the countdown begin!!! Ps.

🥋 My karate instructor wrote a book! (And, yes…I am considering myself one of the women he trained! Ha!) Quick takeaways: 1. It takes repetition and practice. If you hear about a one hour class…run the other way. That is enough to thoroughly confuse you and not help you at all in an emergency situation. 2. Educate yourself and practice self defense movements regularly….a zillion times! Ladies - if you have questions let me know! I don’t actively practice anymore, but it felt like I lived in that karate studio for years and loved every single minute of it! About: As with your martial art’s training, it is about training for that one moment in one’s life in order to survive that unexpected attack for you and your family. All types of training are serious business, but as you begin your journey, I hope you go into it with an open mind and a true spirit for harmony in your life. #blackbelt #seconddegreeblackbelt #selfdefense
What a whirlwind past two years! I’ve had some of the highest highs and lowest lows since receiving my blackbelt. I’ve gone from being a world champion to having my foot broken in three places just a month before second-degree testing. I’ve been teaching more at the studio in the past two years. I was even given the amazing opportunity to be part of the staff. Thank you, @familymartialarts and @srtbobby , for always believing in me, even when I don’t believe in myself. @black_belt_diva I’m going to miss you at the studio every day. Your constant motivation and amazing guidance are something I’m forever grateful for. I’m excited for you to do some more amazing things! I’m ready to see what second degree has in store for me. #nmaa #nationalmartialartsalliance #familymartialarts #shimsantaekwondo #vipersquad #seconddegreeblackbelt
Strength, Stamina, Wisdom, Grace, Beauty, and Perseverance… She exemplified it all on that mat as she fought to achieve her Second-Degree Black Belt!

🌟🥋 Introducing Kat Hart, a phenomenal 2nd Degree Black Belt! 🥋🌟 Kat is a powerhouse with a passion for the tornado kick – a move that adds creative flair to her forms. 🌪️ Beyond her martial arts prowess, she’s a dedicated 7th grader who runs for her high school’s varsity cross country team, ranking as the second fastest athlete! What makes Kat tick? She draws inspiration from her supportive family and believes in their incredible influence on her journey. Her choice of a pre-class snack? Dinner! 🍽️ If she had a superpower, it would be invisibility – what an adventure that would be! Kat started her karate training six years ago, guided by her dad’s influence and passion for martial arts. A 7th grader and a runner at heart, her hobbies include running, teasing her brother, and riding the waves surfing. Let’s cheer for Kat as she continues to achieve remarkable feats and demonstrates unwavering dedication! 🎉💪 #SCSMartialArts #SecondDegreeBlackBelt #KarateJourney
Beside every great athlete, there stands a group of individuals who are there to teach and guide, and to be an integral part of their success. Without any one of them, I am nowhere near as good nor as strong of an athlete as I am today. And I cannot thank my Masters and Instructors enough, especially Grandmaster Arnold and Master Vic for all their support and encouragement that they've given me this past year. The belief and confidence you have in me will be what motivates me now and for the rest of my life. It's true that it takes a whole village to train a great athlete ... this one will forever be mine 🙏💕🥋 #TeamEliteUSA #11yearsold #poomsaegirl #thattkdlife #forevergrateful #takesavillage #mypillarsofstrength #behindeveryathlete #blessedbeyondmeasure #mytaekwondojourney #thewholeisgreaterthanthesumofitsparts #givingthankstothosebeforeme #2nddegreeblackbelt #levelupandcounting #seconddegreeblackbelt #trainlikeagirl #believeinyou #princesswarrior #michintokki🐰
"You can either fail, and give up. Or, you can fail, and try again next time." During March of 2023, I attempted to get my second degree black belt. I failed. Discouraged and upset, I wanted nothing to do with martial arts ever again. I didn't quit. On Friday the 13th of 2023, I attempted this test again. I passed. Unfortunately in life, things don't always go our way. And it our choices to decide what we're going to do, and where we'll go. I wanted nothing to do with karate for three months. Believing I barely deserved the first class black belt I worked hard for just a few years before. But I never quit, finding my passion again and having a new determination to prove my own mind wrong. Now, as a second degree black belt, I've overcome my own doubtful thought of my performance in martial arts, and made one step closer to being the vision I know I can be. Choices are tough sometimes, huh? #reddragonkarate #martialarts #blackbelt #seconddegreeblackbelt #seconddegeee #karate

Our Professor Vu was awarded his 2nd degree black belt by our legend Professor Caio Terra. Congratulations Professor Vu! We are very proud of you and well deserved. Posted @wither gram • @caioterrabjj When you are awarded your black belt, most associations base promotions for stripes on time. At CTA, in addition to the time, I also want all my black belts to continue to evolve, train, and give back to the community. This past weekend, I awarded Vu his 2nd degree, he truly embodies what a martial artist should be and more than deserved it. Congrats, Vu, keep training, and thank you for all the years of friendship. #seconddegreeblackbelt #2nddegree #caioterraassociation #caioterra #ctaalexandria #alexandriabjj #nevergiveup #disciplina #bjjblackbelt #brazilianjiujitsu #bjjforlife #bjjlifestyle #techniqueconquersall #bjj #levelup #welldeserved #bjjpromotion #ourinspiration

Just over a week ago (on my 46th birthday) I tested for my second degree black belt in Taekwondo. My sister-in-law (@katepaulined) took some photos and video (swipe for videos) of the test. I trained harder than I ever have for this test and am happy to have passed! I found myself managing injuries and even had to delay my test by two weeks to heal from a failed break with a side kick in practice. The board breaking was the most difficult section for me (I almost cried more than once!) and I didn’t make all the breaks at the number of boards required, but I did give it everything I had, so that feels good. I’m excited to go into teaching next year with a bigger bag of tools, and to be able to model for my students that we should always be challenging ourselves and progressing no matter what age or belt level. I was thrilled to have most of my family there who lives locally, along with some of my students who had a very long day in Terrace so they could stay and watch my test! I am so lucky to be their teacher and I can’t wait to see what they achieve next year and beyond. Maybe some little black belts coming out of the Hazelton club in the next couple years! #taekwondo #hazeltontkd #atlantistkd #seconddegreeblackbelt #blackbelt #tkd
Today I am thankful to be here in Los Angeles CA, the city I was born in, to take a class with my professor: @reydiogobjj . I have been training Jiu Jitsu regularly with minimal breaks since 2005. It is a life long journey that will only end on the day that I die. Mastery & perfection will never be attained, and the journey simply continues and continues and that is what is important. So much of my life that I am proud of & thankful for, comes from the realizations and breakthroughs that I have made while on the mats . Heed my words, young prospective white belts: Competitions and medals come and go, but the most important gift from all this work comes from the people you train with every day, the friendships you develop and things you learn about yourself over the years. Jiu Jitsu is the way. Nothing is better for the soul. I am proud and grateful to now be a second degree black belt under professor Rey Diogo of the original Carlson Gracie team. #bjj #brazilianjiujitsu #carlsongracieteam #levelup #seconddegreeblackbelt

#Repost @neutral_ground_milwaukee with @use.repost ・・・ Big day in Grafton! Techniques shared, our newest (and only) 2nd degree black belt, the new Grafton “Utopia”rename, and some big upcoming study days ahead :). Loved watching the creative trap settings and exchanges on the mats. Congrats to @perrywirth and the whole team on 15years and counting. Looking forward to many more, and to the next evolutions of Utopia. We couldn’t be prouder, over. #seconddegreeblackbelt #milwaukeebjj #milwaukeemartialarts #trainbelongevolve #thegraciebook #ngmke #15years #graftonmartialarts

(Almost) Seven years as a black belt. I was awarded my 2nd Degree black belt on Sunday morning by my long time mentor Mario Yokoyama. I have been reflecting on what I have learnt in the last few years of training and was planning on writing some long winded multiparagraph tirade but I know the people who want to learn what I have to share will be on the mats with me, not people online. Thank you to my friends and students on the mats who push me everyday, challenge my assumptions about jiu jitsu, and teach me more than they even realize. Thank you to my partner Angie for being so accepting of my crazy work hours and dedication to training and teaching. And thank you to my daughter Aki for reminding me to be patient, caring, and to enjoy every training session. #seconddegreeblackbelt #promotion #thankyou #mybjj
