Black Belt Awarded!
Central Michigan Student Awarded 1st Degree Black Belt
April 21, 2007 — The Tung Gin Association and Central Michigan Karate Club hosted the 2007 Spring Black Belt Testing Program in Farwell Michigan. The day was filled with martial arts excitement by hosting 51 student tests for ranks below black belt. The highlight of the day was the FINAL test for the Black Belt Candidate Mr. Chad Simon of Mt. Pleasant.
Being Awarded a Black Belt is a high honor in life that very few people will achieve due to the difficulty and dedication required. Being awarded a Black Belt in Karate is much like earning an Eagle Scout, Masters Degree or Specialist in ones professional field of expertise.
The pathway to becoming a Black Belt is also much more than just physical skill it encompasses the Mind, Body & Spirit. The process takes many years and after all the work has been completed the student MUST be recommended by their instructor & peers.
Certificate Text As Follows:
It is with great honor that the Tung Gin Association Awards Mr. Chad Simon the rank of 1st Degree Black Belt. He shall hereby be honored from this day forward and granted the privileges and responsibilities of this rank. This degree is presented for outstanding achievement in the martial arts and is recognized throughout the world. Be it known that this declaration of accomplishment is granted for excellence in physical skills, mental ability, loyalty and dedication to the art of Tang Soo Do. This individual has achieved the highest goals of the martial arts: Transcendence and Unity.
Given this 21st day of April 2007 and certified by the promotion board of the Tung Gin Association.
About Mr. Simon: he began the study of the martial arts at the Harrison Dance Center in the early 1990’s under the instruction of Douglas Resseguie. Since then he has distinguished himself in many ways and he is best described by the Samuri Maxim – “A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action.” He is a health care professional, military veteran, and martial arts instructor. His lifetime contributions to the people of Central Michigan and his local community are far more than just his effort spent working with the karate club.
