Saturday, June 13th, Michael received his 3rd degree black belt in American Karate. He started karate a few months before he turned 5. He earned his 1st degree at the age of 8. His 2nd degree at the age of 10 and now 3rd degree at 13. This past year he also earned the title of Assistant Instructor. This is a title given to students that help with lower belt classes - the students must be 15 years old. Michael earned this title at 13, because last year he assisted with 627 classes. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments.
