Black Belts
The ultimate goal of Martial Artists.
The end of one book, but the beginning of a new. The Black Belt level is the top of all classes and programs. Being a Black Belt is not perfection, but a continuous strive for learning and growing. As there is always more to learn, the Black Belt level is a level of constant focus, elite fitness, precision, and unwavering dedication.
Mr. Christopher Becknell 1st degree black belt
Chris Becknell started Tae Kwon Do a few months before his 5th birthday. He earned his first-degree Black Belt at the age of 8. Shortly after earning his first-degree Black Belt, Chris took about a 5-year break from Tae Kwon Do to pursue team sports. At the age of 13 he was eager and ready to put his focus back in to Martial Arts training and to uphold the 5 Tenets of Tae Kwon Do: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit. He jumped right in and became part of our Lion family immediately. He currently is ranked Top 10 in California, and actively competes with our competitive team. He is working on achieving his 2nd Degree Black Belt, has joined our Legacy Program to become and Instructor. He is excited to be part of the Giordano's ATA martial arts family and the entire ATA International Association.
