Congratulations Ms. Rachel Saunier!

Congratulations to Ms. Rachel Saunier on her achievement of 1st Degree Black Belt! It is always special to earn a rank of black belt. It shows years of hard work and dedication to achieving your goal. It is also just as special for an instructor to see a student earn his or her black belt. Ms. Rachel Saunier is the first student in Canton to begin her training as a white belt under Mr. Murphy and earn a black belt. Mr. Murphy has been a part of several martial arts schools in the past and helped many students earn the rank of black belt, but Ms. Saunier is the first student to do this since Mr. Murphy has owned a school. Congratulations Rachel, and thank you.

Are you ready?! Make sure you train hard this week. If you don't have your invitation yet, let's train! Come to class as often as you can so Mr. Murphy and Ms. Dewberry can help you get ready. If you already have your invitation, we have just a few classes left to make everything sharp for the ceremony! Either way, we expect to see you in class and sweating like you want that new belt!
