Father & Daughter Promote to Second Degree Black Belt
Alyssa Fishell and her father Pat Fishell recently completed their journey to the rank of second degree black belt in the Korean martial art style of Kuk Sool Won™.
Kuk Sool Won™ Grandmaster, In Hyuk Suh, visited Kuk Sool Won™ schools in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, on his annual seminar tour across the United Kingdom,
Canada, and the United States.
The grandmaster was accompanied by Kuk Sool Won™ Master Sung Jin Suh, Master Barry Harmon, and Master Darren Hart.
The seminar team conducted a two-hour test for local students who are testing for advancement to 1st degree black belt and higher degrees of black belt. After testing the seminar team held a three-hour seminar for instructors and students of all belt levels. The seminar concluded with promotions.
The new Kyo Sa Nim’s tested many times during the last two years, sometimes before the Grandmaster & visiting masters, and often before their local instructors. The tests involve a considerable amount of memory and physical endurance.
Earning the rank of 2nd degree black belt in the martial art style of Kuk Sool Won™ is most definitely an accomplishment of which be justifiably . Alyssa father at Washington Elementary School with instructors Karl Stolt, Ben Forejt, and Ben Forejt II.
