“THE RISING OF THE PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES” represents:

-Strength in Rising from Destruction and Chaos

-Renewal of Spirit in both Mind and Body

-To Rise Within To Reach New Heights

-To Emerge From the Past and Look Forward to New Found Glory

It is within the Spirit and Representation of these ideas and beliefs that “Phoenix Rising,” as been chosen has the 2014 Black Belt theme. At this time we would like to Congratulate the following Black Belt Candidates who are about to embark on the final stages of their Black Belt Journey:

Chris Zust, Alexis Martin, Mallory Shroyer, Trista Tuttle, Chase Vaughen, John Beimel, and Emilio Gutierrez!

These candidates have all traveled a long and difficult path to make it to this point and not only do we want to congratulate them but also take this time to wish them luck on their journey, express our pride on such a great class of candidates and give them the knowledge that they will not be traveling alone!

“I’M LIKE A PHOENIX. I RISE FROM THE ASHES MORE POWERFUL AND MORE FOCUSED.”
