I was at Keith Mathew's Karate Studio in Canton, GA over the weekend. Mr. Mathews promoted his first black belt, Megan Cathey. Megan did a nice job demonstrating her proficiency, from the basics and forms, to the techniques and on to spontaneous defense against multiple attackers.
At the conclusion of the exam Mr. Mathews presented her with her certificate and belt. He added a nice touch, though. He and his wife, Kim, had commissioned a tiger and dragon ring just like the one Mr. Mathews wears, and gave it to her. He's holding it on the chain in the picture.
The people at the studio are a great group, very cohesive, and nice people. They had a program printed for the weekend events, complete with ads from local businesses. Family members pitching in to help out at the seminar, too.
Megan will be going off to college in August, to earn her degree in Criminal Justice (same as I did, coincidentally). She'll be missed by the group there at the studio.
I saw some old, familiar faces there and a new one. The Mathews had a baby boy named Parker recently and he's doing well.
Keith Mathews looks to be doing a good job up there.
