She tested on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, with a finale on Thursday. She showed black belt level ability in self defense, sparring, forms, and board breaking.

She is also, one of my living heroes. She inspired me with her journey to black belt by her incredible work ethic, positive attitude, willingness to try and try again any challenge put before her. All these traits were demonstrated daily during her 4 year journey. Meanwhile she takes action in the community to better the world for us all. She and is a faithful and loving friend, and phenomenal mom.

for more information about her check out some of her blog posts about her community work, and her living heroes. http://mercerislandmartialarts.ning.com/profile/JanEveleth
