Two members of our teaching staff recently tested for 3rd Degree Black Belt at the Fall New England Chinese Karate Federation (NECKF) Black Belt Examination, held in Manchester, NH. The 3rd Degree exam requires proficiency in all of the physical material in the American Parker system of Kenpo. Miss Katie Gowell and Mr. Matthew Maynard, of the Family Martial Arts Center in Fitchburg, MA., passed the examination and were promoted to 3rd Degree Black Belt by Dr. Len Brassard before the NECKF Senior Board of Examiners.
